haha! I wish it was for that. It's a GPS/CDMA Reciever for a highend unit I have in my car.

it just doesnt do any justice to put something like that one.

maybe on the roof of the car. MAYBE

ROFL! Paint it red/blue. hahahahaha, would make people wonder thats for sure. Some people allready wonder when then see a camera looking at them. I really couldn't imagine it anywhere else. There are other antennas but this one is one of the only comercial grade antenna's that will hook into my system.

Does it have to be level? I'd say take off the rear Toyota badge, put the antenna there, then put the Toyota badge on it. Sound good?

Do you think it will have a problem getting reception through the glass? If not then you can mount in on the rear deck, between the speakers.

Metal in the tint causes issues.

I'm sorry to say this, but I hope that GPS/CDMA of yours is worth it, because that thing would annoy the crap out of me.

It looks like your best bet is to put it on the roof like Mike said. Since I'm seeing more and more antennas on the roof area, right before the back windshield.

Those GPS/CDMA aren't very cheap either. What model do you have?

Good luck... :drinking:
