I have an antenna on the driver side fender, mirroring the position of the am/fm antenna on the passenger side. It's not an optimum antenna but it works well enough and I had no problem tuning it to get a good SWR. An optimum mobile antenna would be a 102" whip, so don't immediately be put off by a less than optimum antenna. FYI, 102" would be the correct radius for a metal ground plane (a pizza pan isn't close).
