Ok, I had a broken antenna and needed to install a new one. I searched on the forums and found a DIY that said it would take 1 full day. Unfortunately I didn't have a full day to install the antenna inside the a-pillar.
So, I got the brilliantly practical idea to install the antenna wire inbeween the a-pillar and the a-pillar cover. Here's what you do.

1. Remove the old antenna.
2. Get punch and punch a spot for a drill bit to go into the cabin.
3. Begin drilling through a-pillar, with the largest bit you can find that will allow the antenna connector to fit through.
4. Install cable, using existing cable holders beneath the a-pillar cover.
5. Hide cable as best you can in dash.
6. Remove radio from dash.
7. Run cable to radio hole, hiding cable as best you can under dash.
8. Hook up cable to radio.
9. Re-install radio.
10. Re-install all hard parts to their proper location.
11. Turn on car to make sure it all works.
12. Enjoy your new antenna looks.
