Better FM reception?

That's a vertical monopole. It would be most efficient mounted in the center of the [grounded] roof.

I still wanna do something with my AM/FM antenna, but I went ahead and setup my XM radio last night. They had 6 months for only $5 a month, so I figured why not. I don't mind $5 a month, but it'll get shut back off before the price shoots back up to regular. Atleast that gives me 6 months to figure out a better regular radio antenna.

I just figured out...

The shark fin on the roof is only for the XM radio. The radio antenna is in the rear window. Looks pretty sucky too. I just removed the tint on the rear window. I don't know if it had metallic in it or not, I just don't like tint anyway. I wonder if adding an actual antenna on the car, like cars use to have, would make a difference? I could probably add one of those power up/down antennas beside the trunk and it would look okay.
