How is the range though?
I saw another post similar to this that utilizes a 3’ antenna mounted behind there as well.

You're welcome, and good luck.
In general, a vertical whip with as much elevation as possibe gives best performance. If you're not trying to hide it, Wilson Antenna makes great ones, in assorted lengths and mounting styles.
It should also be fine-tuned with an SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) meter.

If you want the most range possible, mount it as close to the center of the roof as possible. The roof makes an awesome ground plane and the antenna won't be obstructed by anything. Putting it behind the applique above the tail light is a cool way to hide it but it will severely limit the range and direction you can talk/hear. If you only wanted to talk/hear behind you it MIGHT be ok.
