I bought one off ebay from a seller called antennax, it works fine and has a thicker rubber cover on it. The stock antenna got whipped and cracked my windshield,doh.

 

Man, that would suck-duck-diddly-uck!

 

Yep, hey I just noticed you have 666 posts spooky!

 

Hows the reception with a shorty antenna? The same.... Better....worse?

 

I got mine off ebay for about $18 shipped, however my reception was terrible after I installed it. I got the 8" but probably should have gone with the 14". I wanted to prevent the antenna from bouncing off my windshield lights, but I preferred having radio reception instead. Now I'm looking at the CB Style from Quadratec. only problem...$68.00 http://www.quadratec.com/products/96080_5011.htm

 

i just trimmed mine and painted it black. works like a charm and it was free

 

Made my own... heat-shrink tubing and a screw protecter, that's all. I gained 4 horsepower and get 30mpg now.

 

I got mine there too.

 

great mod!

 

must be the reduced wind resistance...increased your top-end too huh?
