Bitch of a job in my 96 SC2 coupe.

I will get pics up of the finished product this weekend.

Placed it so it sits right in front of the rear window.  Once I drilled
the hole I realized the center beam there is actually three additional
layers of metal.  I had to cut out a box in the three layers so I could
get the 7/8" nut onto the antenna shaft.  Used my dremel and about two
million cut off wheels (actually about 20 :)...)

Bought the antenna from www.locustom.com, its the MDX/Fuba
hybrid...reception is better than my stock antenna.

While the roof was apart I felted the antenna wires and the dome light
wires.  I am not working, but I was going to use some RAAMAT (a very good
dynamat extreme clone for about $1 a sq/ft) on the roof...I will do this
later, I plan on adding about 50lbs of deadening to my car which will be
offset by the turbo later on.  This (RAAMAT roof and body panels, closed
cell foam floor and firewall) will make a saturn sound like a mercedes.

The look of the car is greatly improved and very factory looking. 

The best way to get the perfect center of the roof is a cloth tape
measure, run it across the roof from each rear window and make sure it is
the same distance from the back glass on both sides..then just divide by
2.

Only screw up in the whole job was while holding the dremel with a cut off
wheel, I banged my funny bone which caused my thumb to start the dremel
and it nicked my rear window tint about an inch.  Found out the
'professional' headliner guy had all the visors and side trim screwed
up....he was well recommended and the finished product looked excellent,
but it appears as he breaks things epoxy repairs them. :)

Let me know if you have questions.
