Just got a honda element...any way to put a whip on it w/o cutting it?
thanks much

Well there's always thru-the-glass. It's not the most efficient in my
experience (which is limited with respect to these) but it seems to work
well enough if you have a decent repeater system that is the target.
One plus is that you can usually get most of the half wave above the
roofline.

For all around flexibility I still like the simple quarter wave vertical
for 2m FM. Enough high angle for metro downtown use, but that involves
either holes or magnets.

sorry...my mistake. this is an HF whip antenna

Please clarify then - do you want to avoid cutting the whip, or the car?

would prefer not cutting the car. on my old honda CRV i had a piece of
angled aluminim i bolted to the spare tire mount. the element is
protrusion free, unfortunately, so there's nothing to hang anything on
