Hey guys.... anyone ever use or know of someone that has this antenna delete? It says theres a hidden antenna, so it's not just "deleting" it. If so, how's the reception? that's my big thing.

Is it worth the 50 bux to get something sleeker/different or just get the 14" that gets good reception but more popular?

EDIT: http://v6mustangstuff.com/Exterior3.htm about 1 item down and in the right column

(I don't want the 8")

 

get the 8 inch, it rocks

 

geezeum pete's, I didnt even edit that before you replied. And I had the 8" on my old stang and lost reception quality around some parts of town.

 

cant stand the 8 inchers, too small, dont think 14 is enough either, i would recomend chopping your current antenna to whatever height you want... thats what i plan on doing and it will be right with the roof line.
EDIT: not to mention that kit will leave a nice little black plastic peice where your old antenna used to be? ghey

 

i get perfect reception across most of the freakin state...if you dont want to lose all reception...i wouldnt reccomend the delete

 

thats what i was wandering but it looks like in the pic it shows a fairly long cord of somekind, and with it being 50 bux, i was wandering if it was actually really good

 

i think the cord is what connects to your radio..

 

hmmmmmmm, so then u mount that plate thing somewhere huh

 

i'll prolly save a few bux and jsut get the 14"

 

Black 8" FTW

 

I shortened mine to 18 inches the other day, I think its the perfect height, Not too short.

I just knocked the ball off the end, chopped it down with my dremel, pressed (pounded) the ball back on and painted it.

Free mod.

I lost some reception but mainly because my antenna wire is broken at the jack that plugs into my radio(too many deck removals). So it has good days and bad days lol

 

By the way...I found the easiest way for me to knock the ball off the end was to secure the base of the antenna in a vise or something like that.

Then lay a pair of flat jaw pliers on top of the ball, hold the pliers tight enough to stay on top of the ball but don't gouge out your antenna with it. THEN give the pliers a good whack or two with a hammer.

I hit the flat part on the pliers twice and my ball came right off. Super easy.

 

I have the 14 incher and no reception problems whatsoever.

 

I have two issues with the 8-inch... when the car is moving, I get really ****ty reception. Also when I'm near a ****load of trees (Which is 90% of Connecticut), I get ****ty reception. But once I'm on the highway or an open area, it's mint reception... which could explain Jon's quality.

 

hmm...I have never had prblems with my 8 inch...and I can drive all the way up to aspen and get perfect reception

 

hey whitethunder, i took my antenna off completely for about 2 months and my reception wasnt that bad... it wasnt great but for the most part i had no problems. i just bought that antenna delete you're talking about and now my reception is great. i have no problems at all. i've always hated the way antennas look on mustangs, when i first got my car i got a 14 inch antenna and still didnt like it cuz it was too tall so i cut my stock one down to 8 inches and still too big... now its gone and im finally happy with it. eventually ill get some things shaved on the car and that antenna stump is going to be one of the first things shaved.

 

got any pics? and where did you mount that flat piece thing, I'm assuming it's the antenna part in a box thing

 

:stupid:

 

Can't wait for the open road of Kentucky man, yeah.

 

just get the 14. youll be bettrer off.
