So it would seem that several items are about to converge that will make it possible to bring about a greater end to my Bonneville:
I need to paint the roof, as the paint is coming off in patches.
I plan on getting a new stereo because the stocker is a peice.
I would like to throw some Dynamat on the roof for noise reduction.

Now, I hate the lag that comes with the stereo power-up when I turn on the radio, and I do not want the antenna to have to run up and down the mast all day long as I motor about...so what I was thinking, was that since I would be pulling the headliner for the Dynamat, getting a new head and conversely running some cable fore and aft, and painting the roof anyway, I would get a Volkswagen 'stinger' type antenna (the brand name is Fuba) and throw that on the roof.



Added bonus: I love the symetry and it looks great.




Has anyone else done something this awesome before?

I was thinking that I would just run the antenna cable up the B pillar and have the antenna posted just behind where the latter-most point of movement of the sunroof. I have yet to remove the headliner and take any measurements, but the Fuba unit has a relatively small foot print, so I wouldn't image fitment would be a problem (notwithstanding the sheet metal modification).

Any thoughts?

I like it!

If you decide to do it, make sure you post your pics here when done.

Sho nuff!

..just don't expect them anytime soon, for I've other time comittments at the moment.
