Internal Antenna???!!!

so basically there are a lot of ppl who have antenna deletes or spoon antennas or the little little nipple antenna like on BJs (sdpann) fit or JAMES' fit (sdmr) and i like the asthetic look of this and with an aftermarket spoiler like the spoon its actually almost mandator because the wing hits the antenna. so im wondering is there anyway to put the nubby antenna up as a cover for the asthetics but really run some of that antenna wiring (im not sure what its called) in the headlining so that reception isnt effected.

Hey sOx-
I'm not sure that this is what will work for you, bu our old mini van had a fender-mounted antenna that hit a tree limb and snapped off. I replaced it with an antenna that adhesive mounted to the inside upper edge of the windshield (so that it replaced the outside antenna). I used "windshield mount antenna" as search words to find the vendor, but don't remember the vendor name now. It was a small dia. cable inside a tape strip that held it to the top edge of the windshield, and the cable that plugs into the head unit ran down the side of the windshield/pillar. The reception was even better than the stock outside antenna, and the price was under $15.00.
