Default good idea

ash tray mount is awsome! Has anyone used a uniden pc78ltw? what did you do for the speaker?

for antenna through the glass is good for looks and no drilling or firestick off the hood using factory firewall hole and mount that dosn't need drilling

buy the full dash kit you can use the decal stick on but full 3d plastic is what i would do

I have a uniden bearcat I love it, I got it up on the dashboard in the divot above the head unit, ran my power and antenna under the plate I just wish they had a quick connect antenna plug cause it sucks trying to twist that thing on and off when I don't want to leave it up there

I wish I had seen this before I modified my cup holder. i just took the cup holder out and removed the inner workings (Sliding mechanism) and put my cb in there. it is a cobra 18 sxII. It fit like a glove inside and I can always put the cup holders back in the future.

Will a Cobra 148gtl fit in the dash? If you got one in there, how about a picture or two of the install.
