is the antenna smaller?

love teh car and the colour
but won't buy me a red car, cause the colour bleaches out

 

It's 14 inches long....17 inches shorter than the stock antenna and black in color. Metal, not rubber.

 

I got mine at autozone for 4.99

 

find it very great that the antenna is more than the half shorter
but think rubber is better than metall!

 

i had rubber but i took it back, i dont like that they flex when your doing 65 on the freeway. They start to look like the neck of a rubber chicken. I wanted a more FIRM look

 

how's reception?

 

same as stock for me

 

I can't tell any difference one way or the other. Of course I live in the 'burbs, so we receive a goodly amount of signals.

I've seen those rubber ones and they look kinda cheap and beat up after awhile. Mine seems well made and took maybe 1 minute to install. Unscrew the stock antenna, screw in one of the three adapters supplied with the new antenna, and screw the new antenna onto that. Doesn't get any easier and it looks a lot cleaner...

I decided to remove mines cause im tired of listening to German radio. they play the same 7 songs all day... seems like it. [&:]

 

Yeah, after seeing your's without one, I kinda liked the look, but I do need to keep tabs on the news/weather, so I opted for a smaller one. I like the look a lot better!! Thanks for the idea, Roach!!!
