Looks good !!
Noticed you put your antenna on the roof. If you would rather have a "stealth" installation, you can put it under the plastic cowling where your windshield wipers are.
On the passenger side there is a depression in the metal that is large enough for the antenna to sit.
If you are interested, I'll post pics...

First of all XM ROCKS!! I've had it for 4 months now, and it is the best, I'll never listen to FM again.
Second, lemme say that, messman, you did one hell of a job on that install. I thought about getting the rf modulator setup, but couldnt find a good place to mount it, but you found the place I opted to go for a new headunit and am still happy as a pig in *****. Good Luck and ENJOY your XM!

You don't have to remove the windshield wiper if you don't want to. You can just remove the screws and clips and pry the cowling up.
There will be enough room to slip the antenna under the cowling and into the metal "depression" and then you can just put the screws and clips back in again.
Should take you about 15 minutes...
Here's a pic of the parts to remove:

Good luck and let me know if you need any additional info.

I should have clarified my reception question. I was ACTUALLY referencing the location of the antenna, and was wondering if the fact it was located under the wiper cowl provided any reception problems. I am assuming it won't. Just counting pennies until October or so, and then will probably check into getting XM.
Thanks Y'all,
