You running a wagon or sedan? That will make all the difference in antenna mounting options. I'll post some pics of my wagon's antenna setup soon.
Where are you thinking of installing the radio itself? This is the biggest problem in my install. Since I RARELY use it, I just keep the radio under the pass. seat and pull it out when I need it, sitting it on the floor or the pass. seat if unoccupied. If you want a permanent install, you may want to get the Cobra WX-75-ST radio - the radio is entirely in the microphone and can be mounted on a hook on the dash somewhere. If I used my radio often enough I would go this route.
