Roof mount antenna

Anybody ever put a roof mount antenna in a first gen? One of the shorty ones that angle back like VW GTI's used to have. The regular power antenna on mine has been gone since I took it out back in 86 after it died, and now that i got the car back and am redoing it I dont like the look of the antenna mast coming thru a rubber grommet in the rear spoiler, so i am going to fiberglass the hole in the spoiler over and move the antenna to the roof....but wanted to see if anyone had done this before....

I'm not sure about that antenna. Makes it resemble a remote control toy car.

I looked into doing this to my old GSL, but I didn't get to before some idiot totaled it for me. I was looking at using the rear window washer location, since I removed the rear wiper. From what I gathered, this was years ago, the S2K was a great antenna candidate. IIRC, It's shorter, but has an amplifier.
