I put my magnet antenna on the dash and put the wire under the top storage
bin. Works great with out any loss of signal and no rings on the outside of the car.

Buff it out. Then go to a ham radio or CB store and get a paint protector for mag mount antennas. You'll probably have to trim it to match the small antenna base, but it'll save the paint on the car.

I do the same as StoveboltHHR.........on the dash. The Sirius people tell you not to, because it can cause signal problems. I drove 1300 miles, to central Mo. and back, over the weekend after the 4th and I never lost the signal.
