I got tired of replacing the antenna mast of the Lexus so when I bought a new antenna mast, I installed it and disconnected wire that powers the antenna motor.

Question is:
What is the best hidden antenna on ebay (or anywhere else)?

I bought this antenna off ebay, but it was not as great because I still hear some static noise on the local stations.

Anyone have suggestions?

Definitely a GARBAGE antenna. The patent is a design patent, not a functional patent. Specs mention UNITY gain, which basically means nothing since they're not referencing the antenna to dBi (infinite / free space) or dBd. Best thing to do is to make your own antenna, a simple dipole will do that's tuned for 100 Mhz, middle of the FM band. Run some good quality coax wire to the rear window. You can then use some adhesive or even the aftermarket "adhesive defogger wire" to make the antenna. As a general rule of thumb, 468 divided by Mhz, (in this case, 100 Mhz) which will give you a total of 4.68 feet for the entire antenna. So, 2.34 feet from the center coax pin and 2.34 feet from the ground / shield of the coax. Just lay them out in a "L" formation, pin wire run to one side, ground / shield to another. Try and experiment.
