where / how should I install the antenna on my wife's 2000 Oldsmobile Alero?

this car is similar to the Grand Am

what type of antenna should I run?

ideas for mounts?

she is want it kinda covert, basically it needs to look like it belongs or at least not look tacky, lol

Mounted on the trunk would probably look the best using something like a wilson 1000 which is designed for trunk mounting.
If it was mine it would have a 102 in the center of the roof

I agree.

i like the 5k on the roof

have one on my oldsmobile and like the results.
p.s. talking strictly for performance and not the looks.

Top/center of the roof for best results.
Taller and equal amount of metal below the antenna for the best omni-directional result when done that way.
That's for sure . . .

Anything that looks like it belongs on the car will most probably not be too good. I know some trunks have very little space for a trunk lip mount to be installed without cutting into the coax....but if the space between the body and trunk is wide enough a Wilson 1000 or 5000 would be my choice. A Magnet mount Wilson on the roof would work even better.
Why not put a ball mount on the roof and use a 1/2 wave antenna....that's pretty stealth! :laugh:
