I'm looking for a new antenna, i've seen alot of shortie ones and wondering do they work the same if not worse than the stock one.
Any better ones out there.
Hey me too! I got a cheepie shortie off of ebay. 10 bucks. The reception took a little bit of a hit, but I just could not stand the lightsaber anymore. If anyone knows of a good one on the cheap... postup! We want to know.
i just ended up cutting my stocker down to about 4" or so. I don't really notice a difference reception-wise from the full length stocker, but then again most of the time it's iPod or Satellite for me.
I did the same as stage3matt; yanked the stock ball off the top of the antenna, took a pair of bolt cutters and cut about 8" off the antenna, grinded the end down a bit then shoved the ball back on and tapped it a few times with a hammer. Looks great and is still in one piece, and reception is just the same as it was before
