Yeah, I am sick of hitting my antenna on the garage. Where did u get that? At first, I saw that flag pole in the background and thought, "Eww, what was he thinking?" The 2nd pic helped a lot! :o

[jdm monkey]

my friend sells them for $30 shipped

When I saw that first photo with the pole in the background I thought "DAYUM!" Brought a chuckle.

I did a grille badge almost EXACTLY like that except the bottom part of the V is rounded and all the corners of the two letters are slightly radiused. Otherwise the shape of the letters are identical. Made of brushed aluminum with clear coat on an aluminum base painted black. It's like simultaneous graphic design! I also like the antenna.

What's the F/S section? Would love that shorter antenna. The new...or should I say old house i'm moving into has a lower garage.

I like the short antenna. Sign me up for one!

[cyronman]

Did anyone buy one of these antennas?

How's the reception? Equal or better than stock?

I have one. It looks WAY better in my opinion and I have not noticed a decrease or increase in reception, but then again, I only listen to NPR if I am listening to the radio at all, so I am not really a good person to ask. But like I said, it does not seem worse, that's for sure....

Okay Bart, how did you get one? If there was a thread for this, it appears to have vanished.

Man, there was a thread, guy was selling them for like $30....I just did a search, can't seem to find it either!?!?!

EDIT: Wait, this is the thread!!! Read the first few posts....you want to PM jdmmonkey :)

I kept the bag for the antenna for the very purpose of remembering exactly what it is. I will see if I can find said bag now and post the info.

I bought one of the longers ones from this seller and my reception decreased dramatically. The build quality isn't as good as the OEM either- the top cap has already come off. My plan for a replacement is getting VW Beetle antenna.

[blacksambo]

Thx. Good to know. Let us Know how the Beetle part works out.

Inoticed VW and MAZDA use the same as ours
