Hi everyone,

When I bought my car the previous owner took off the factory antenna and installed a small rubbery one but it does not sit upright, it leans off the car at about a 45% angle like a ... well.

Anyway, aside from taking away the little blue pills I feed my car, what alternative antenna's do other people use? Obviously I want one that actually has decent reception and does not attract undue attention.

Thoughts?

I've seen some cool alternative antenna options on here. There's the shark fin antenna, found on several newer cars:

A rally-car style antenna (notice on top of the car, towards the rear):




But my favorite so far has been a window-mounted antenna, so no antenna is seen at all. They're available pretty cheap on Ebay and mount in the rear window, reception is pretty good on them as far as I can tell. Something like this:
