    Default Car Audio question

    Does anyone know of a place/store that would sell like a conversion kit for antennas?

    I recently shaved my antenna off my car and wanted to see if there are other alternatives before getting XM/Sirius Sattelite radio.

    For example, the Subaru STi's come with their radio antennas integrated in the rear windsheild above the defogger strips. The antenna looks identical to the defroster strips.

    Does anyone know of a company that would sell/install something like this on my vehicle?

    Any help is appreciated. I may just end up getting XM/Sirius sattelite radio.

    you can get hidden antennas. I believe Metra makes one that works pretty well. I've got one on my truck but, I'm not all that happy with the reception I got with it so I'm going to sirius very soon.

    Would you say reception is as good with a stock antenna or worse?

    I'm not looking for amazing reception, just what I had with the stock antenna.

    I'm starting to think my only option would be XM/Sirius.

    Where does the antenna mount and where do I buy it? Do you guys also install?

    I shaved my antenna off the stock location, so it would have to mount from within the car.
