where do I mount the antenna? I have an 03 audi a4 which has no exterior mounted antennas. I feel like mounting one on this type of sedan would look stupid. Is it possible to use the 'sharkfin' antenna as a CB antenna? TIA for all responses

Sorry, but not a snowflake's chance in hell.
Careful hell freezes over every once in a while...
Hmmm let's see look stupid..... a 3 foot wire on top of a stack of quarters on a trunk lid that's hardly visible from twenty feet, or sitting on the side of the road in front of a squad car that tagged you with I/O as all the cars you just spent the last twenty minutes passing all stare as they cruise by you and see the officer hand you a ticket.
Feel free to substitute the ticket comment with, arriving late for some event because you didn't hear about the accident that just happened and you're stuck waiting for the highway to reopen so you can get off and where you need to be. OR having to replace the bumper because you didn't hear about the "gator" in the middle lane at the 140 and it took out half the bumper grill and a headlight.
It's all about picking and choosing and what your threshold is.
(and if you get a mag mount you'll be able to pull it off at will so it's only on there when you're in areas that it'll be useful)
Ok, I didn't realize they had magnet mounts. I'm usually driving locally, but occasionally do take long distance trips. Sounds like the magnetic mount would be perfect for me.
I have a magnet mount. Exactly what I do: only use on long trips.
My video below. Somewhere in there you see the magnet mount I use.

Thanks for the link. Looks like the antenna won't exactly be pretty when installed, but it will serve its intended purpose.
To all the comments above I will add if you use a mag mount remember to wipe off the bottom of the mount before you put it on your trunk. Do this everytime to prevent scratching.
