that's cool... I have my bf do everything... unless something breaks... than my grandpa does that... I don't do cars... i'm just the one that stands there and hands things to them, asks a million and ten questions "what does this do?" "what is that for." "why do I need this?" "why?" and then holds things or whatever.... I can do little things though... like I put the connector thing on my brother's truck that turns the lights on his trailor on when he's got it hooked up to the truck...

hey, that's a start :clap:

ok I just ordered the 8 inch.... I figure I don't listen to the radio very often... so i prob won't even notice if it doesn't work very well....:rolleyes: and I won't have a giant thing towering over the right side of my windshield.... I also got black refective bumper inserts.... I know I told myself I was going to put performance things on b4 I spent my money on looks... but I want to put something on now... and all the performance parts cost a bit more than just looks things....

i got my new antenna! it's sooooooo tiny. I just put it on so I haven't had a chance to listen and see if the reception quality is any different. But I deffinatly like how it looks!

I just took it off completely since i never listen to the radio. i usually listen mostly to CDs. Now that it is no longer there there the small base on the fender does not even stand out. If you look closely at mustangs in magazines they always take off the antenna for the pics and most people never even notice it is not there. This is especially true for Fast Fords& MM

I cut mine yesterday. Easy to do (with some elbow grease behind the saw). Looks just like the 14" one they sell and cost me a whole $0.00! :)

yeah I just bought the 8". one, I didn't feel like cutting mine, and 2 if I didn't like I still had the option of putting the old one back on....

silverstang2001 03-19-2006 03:36 PM

Wait. What was the thread originally about???.... uh, oh yeah -

"Ok, so the stock(GIANT) antenna is really starting to get on my nerves. It's in the middle of my windshield! and it sways back and forth while I drive.... Idk.... I'm just crazy. But anyway, does anyone have the 8 inch one? and what do you think about? How does the radio sound? and does it flop around alot while u drive?"

:bash:
