Since nobody has, I'm going to answer these....
Hope that helps!
It sorta does - the integrated ones are good if you never use a CB. There are several top end CBs, the Cobra 29LX that a lot of people here get is definitely NOT it. If you only use it for wheeling, just get yourself a uniden 520xl..its comtact, but works great. Typically performance isn't gauged by the radio as much as by the antenna. If you really want to make sure you have a good transmit, buy one that's peaked and tuned. Plenty of places you can do it on the internet. THat will ensure you get all the power your radio has, as typically from the factory they are tuned down just a bit to ensure they comply legally. Tuning them up doesn't make them illegal usually, it just gets them to 100% rather than 80%. They do this from the factory to ensure variations always stay legal.
They are fine..there are tons of others that are exactly the same. It doesn't obstruct the mirror at all.
Firestick is really a good choice. The tuneable end variety is going to be a lot easier to tune than a cut to tune. Recommended.
Don't bother with a shop, it's super easy to do yourself. The wiring will depend on where you mount it. It just requires you to tuck it under the carpet along the edge. If you need specific help, ask.
Hope that helps!
