Default To NMO or not to NMO...

Ok, So I have really been considering drilling a hole in my f250 (although I do get pretty queezy just thinking about it).

I hate the look of the coax from the magnetic mount for the 2 meter just laying on top of the cab and then running through the door post.

What are your thoughts on a NMO right in front of the third brake light? I saw a youtube video of an installation there on a f150 and it looks pretty good.

I am looking for pros and cons both.

I know it sure does look nicer, but am concerned about leaks into the cab. What about signal strength if I were to put it that far back?

Thanks

Galen
