Installed stubby antenna today. Was worried about the reception but was surprised it was the same as stock!

Lucky! I bought a stubby and I DID lose reception range. I eventually put my stock back on and have the stubby around somewhere. If I find it I'll gladly give it away in the freebies section.

does anyone know if this stubby antenna works with the mopar mounts for windshield lights? I'm looking at PIAA 540's and don't like the look of the bent antenna. Also, would love more opinions on reception.

I have KCs mounted and only had to bend the antenna a little.

Love that color! I clipped my stock antennae and put a screw protector on the end. I was surprised the reception was not noticeably affected.
