I put my xm antenna on the trunk on my civic and when I uninstalled it I also had tiny scratches under the magnet. I put my antenna on the dashboard in the Evo and have been much happier.
I also work at Circuit City and we typically put them on the roofs of the cars by the windshield and run the wire through the molding, thats another idea I just think the dash looks much cleaner.

Where did you buy it, only place I searched was crutchfield? I am looking at that exact one also.
TIA

I put mine in nearly the same place, but mounted on the *window* side. It's pointing at an angle to the rear, now. Reception is fine. Low profile. No scratches or rust.
(If you do a search, I did post a picture of mine in another thread)
Good luck!

Yes, when mounting the antenna to some part of the outside of your vehicle, you will get little scratches. Ive seen in person installs of these all the time, and there is no other way, other than mounting it inside, to avoid this. Ive got my XM and Sirius antennas on my dash in the center close to the windshield.
