Antennas

Neither of these are made of that cheap rubber stuff that will eventually bend to where it permanetly will look like it is blowing in the wind. Basically I want to know if these are just like the stock antennas but shorter, and not made out of something different. This was kind of hard to explain so if you are confused let me know.

They are metal, exactly like your stock antenna, only shorter.

Thanks man!

I recommend the 14" antenna over the 8". I think quite a few people have had reception issues with the 8". I have the 14" and live in a major metropolitan area and have had no reception problems at all. Just my .02

Thanks for the advice! Do you have any idea how big the stock antennas are? I just cant stand having a telephone poll on my car!! Also do you have any pics of your car so that I could see the 14" antenna on there?

stangjunkie04 11-28-2005 09:41 AM

yeah dont get the 8 in .I have it and I have real bad reception, its just lucky for me I mostly listen to CDs

Stock is like 29" tall. I have a couple pics that will give a decent idea..search my posts.....trust me it looks WAY better than the stock mast.

MattJ 11-28-2005 11:03 AM

Ive got an 8" antenna and my reception went down quite a bit. i recommend the 14".

madmatt 11-28-2005 12:05 PM

I may order one next time I buy something here. Lord knows it looks like I drive an r/c car...

Mossberg 11-28-2005 06:28 PM

I got the 8 inch from here. I don't listen to radio's same 20 song rotation anyways, so I went for what looked better.

whitethunder46 11-29-2005 01:30 PM

another recommendation for the 14 inch, not the 8

I have the 14" as well and have great reception.

whitethunder46 11-29-2005 08:36 PM

you must just be special :)

Mossberg 11-29-2005 08:42 PM

My 8" reception is fine, but I hate radio anyways so it doesn't matter. I only use it for sports while driving to my destination to watch on TV.

Shambles 11-30-2005 08:02 PM

I'll have to get a pic of my new antenna...I quite like it!

White04GT 12-06-2005 01:21 PM

I bought the 14'' antenna I think it looks better then the 8"..thats just so small and I get perfect reception with the 14"

WaterDR 12-06-2005 01:32 PM

The reception on mine sucks. But, I listen to XM anyway.

Shambles 12-06-2005 02:31 PM

Go XM!! I have that installed on my Cobra and I LOVE IT!
