antenna length
 

alright, i'm purchasing some different appearance mods and noticed that the stock antenna is ugly as hell...just wondering if you guys would recommed the 8" or 14" black antenna here from MT? i just don't know if the 8" will look retarded b/c its so short... reception doesn't matter b/c i never listen to the radio...it is simply an appearance thing, thx

peace

I got the 8" and I like it. Granite, if I did it over again, Id just get the hidden antenna and get the antenna delete plate.

where is that stuff available from?

get the hidden one determined.

8in ftw right height looks very good allot better then the stock skyscraper that u get

Would the 14" have better reception that then 8"?

I can't decide between the 2...

I have the 8inch, it has great reception. Diddnt notice any drop, some people have though. Probably depends on where you live, im in the Denver metropolitan area towards the mountains. no problem. Others living in more rural or near smaller citys see drops in recp

and it looks a lot better than that RC Car attenna that comes stock.

I lost some reception with the 8 but who cares.I listen to the exhaust anyway :)

dont buy one...just cut the stock one...i did...
i used a dermel tool with a cutting disk...cut it to match the roofline and ripped the ball off the end and tapered the fat end down so the ball could be superglued on....then i went the extra step and painted the antenna black...
looks great....and was free....

Thats what I did to, with the stock antenna. Ill have to measure how tall it is. But I lost some reception with it. I just ordered the 14" one.

Ok, I'll get the 14" then..doesn't it align with the roof?

Texaspaul- you have a mustang? I thought you were like 14.. :confused:

dude, i didn't even know there was an antenna delete plate...do u remember where i could find one of those?

Ive got the 8" antena. i lost some reception but it looks pretty good.

I got the 8" looks much better then the stock, and I didn't lose any reception

I got the 14". Lines right up with the roof line. Radio reception is just as good as before. I like it, looks like how it should of been from the factory.

my mom has a 04 v6 vert mustang...
im 15...i have my permit...lol
im gona get a Gt in a year or two.....or at least supposed to...lol
so im slowly workin my way up...

Hes the kid that mods his moms car. I remember that thread haha.

lol yup...at least shes not a soccer mom in a minivan....

I have the 14" and its perfect. no loss in reception and it doesn't look too short..I think the 8" is too small IMO.

I thought that was Badfish. Lol

Lol... 8 inches just isnt quite enough to satisfy you huh? LMAO!

Thats what I did also, I measured 15 inches....

Antenna delete FTW!!!


antennas are ugly as hell, doesnt matter how long it is. mine is deleted and it has a hidden antenna thats in the top of the A pillar.

The 2000 Cobra R had one on it. Heres the link. Its about 2/3s of the way down the page. Its $10.
