They do recommend putting it on the trunk for best reception. The antenna is actually quite small now, not like the previous version which was rather large and ugly. Why don't you ask them to show you what the antenna looks like. Another possibility would be to ask them if they could install the antenna in the back shelf. Some people have done that without reception issue. Personally I prefer outside. FYI, the antenna is taped down, not magnetic which I'm not too crazy about.
Because your car is black it wont show up as bad as mine did 07 Gold color....which I sold because I slid down my driveway in the snow into oncoming traffic. There is no traction control shut off, so it also cut down the power to the engine when the stablitrac kicked in..... WHAT FUN THAT WAS.. Sliding down a hill in drive but going backwards with no power to the engine. I still have my 07 RX 350 though, all wheel drive, thank goodness.
