My aftermarket GPS antenna is hidden under the black plastic panel in front of the windshield wipers, which is the "stock" location. Completely invisible and works great. Installation procedure (with photos) is covered on http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-electronics/.

I also mounted my antenna under the plastic trim for the wipers. Very simple to do and out of the way, and my reception is excellent. Just ran the cable through the rubber grommet in bulkhead access port and zip tied cables to keep it tidy.
