Anyone think it would be a good idea to mount a trunk lip scanner antenna on the hood of car on the left side? Anyone hav their antenna mounted like this?
No; the center of the roof means the center of the roof, not the trunk lid. The trunk lid of the vehicle isn't the roof! Of course, a trunk lip mount will work on the trunk, either in the middle or off to the left or right side, but you would need a roof mount (i.e., drill a hole) to install the antenna in the middle of the vehicle roof.
