Shorty Antenna

I had the 8 inch shorty antenna on for a while, it did its job OK. I like AM radio in the morning and the shorty suffered there. If your not into AM at all then go for it, if you are, then you might want to consider something besides the 8 inch version. I originally installed it to get around my Mopar mounts, but I just ended up tweaking my OEM antenna which now also clears my garage door.
Dude....I like your idea with your antenna....but you know what? Imagine that second bend to where it would make the rest of the antenna parrallel with the windshield pillar. I bet it would look even better.
