2002 antenna
2001 antenna swap?
Is there any other antenna I could use, I really dont like the long antenna on there.
I seen some generic ones on ebay 5in "carbon fiber wrapped."
Someone told me that those are more for the tops of cars.

my 2cents:
i have a stubby like that on mine, but i almost never listen to terrestrial radio, i have an aftermarket HU w/ Sirius, and a USB port, so am/fm reception isn't really an issue for me.
This is basically the one i have:
the stubbies ARE more for vehicles that came with a short, roof mounted antenna, as those are normally run through a signal amplifier en route to the head unit.
If you live in an urban area,with strong signal coverage, you may get lucky. i have found that if i do turn over to fm, i don't get nearly the reception range that i would with the full mast antenna.
