the area below the slide out cup holder is the more common. i have also seen one mounted on top of the dash but the best one ive ever seen was a guy who had is mounted below the stereo in the dash. it looked factory

I have 2 "L" brackets mounted to the transmission hump and the CB sits straight up in front of the seat. I posted pics of it in another thread.. I will have to search to find them.

rcarroll, can you tell me what cobra model that is? I'd love to put a CB right there in mine. Im assuming you just took the ashtray out and hooked it up from the back?
