not sure where to put this (antenna question)

so i now have NO antenna on my car, and it's just the nub. my friend took my old one off and threw it. but i'm wondering if there's anyway i could put this one on there

http://www.car-stuff.com/carparts/la...-16224811.html

any ideas guys? i know it's kind of an open ended question, but any ideas would be great.
i was really wanting one that mounts on the back part of the roof of the car, but i'm not sure what it's called, and not sure how hard it would be to install.

thanks

Go take the antenna off your friends car and throw it. Then buy either an ark or antennax shorty.

Us of the redline faith have long since inverted our gay looking antennae into the fender and plugged the hole.

Shorty antennas look stupid in most cases.

I wouldn't just take off your friend's antenna, I would physically tear it from the car so that it destroys either the paint job or the threaded connection. I would then wake him up in the morning by whipping it across his face as hard as I could. Repeadtly.

Make your friend pay for the new one.

Or take his wheels off and throw them.

Paint your friends wheels(or wheels covers if he has them) hot pink in the middle of the night.

not for nothing, but if you buy an ark antenna you need to do more research. i bough an antennax one for about 5 dollars, it looks the same, radio quality is as good as stock, and it holds up well.

Yeah, ARK antennas are overpriced compared to some of the alternatives. I got an antennax for about $7 and I haven't noticed any difference in radio function compared to stock. Not that I use the radio much anyway.

I got the rubber one...While installing the tip fell off (just a rusty wire with hot glue) and the adapter didnt fit right so I just trashed it. $15

i wasn't mad about him throwing it, i didn't want it anyways, it's huge and annoying.

when i first wanted to replace it i bought like 3 or 4 different ones...had to return them..they didn't fit. i have the 06 ls, seems like nothing fits.
