I would maybe stick it on the top of the bulkhead between the seats and the trunk. You can build a nice leather enclosure for it if you want to conceal it.
Cool, nice reference--I used Bill's header install guide but haven't checked out enough of his other articles.

I thought it was pretty nuts that with the recommended front-installed sensor you can't detect a rear radar hit (obviously the engine block, radiator, intercooler all shield the signal), so I would definitely like to investigate an interior mounting with view of both the front and rear--probably off-center a bit so it doesn't appear in the rear view mirror.
