I've read a couple of posts about people chopping their antennas. If you have done this i would love to know how you did it. Also if you would post some pictures it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

I did it before I purchased the one from Rebel Off Road. Just cut it down with a Dremmel and cutting blade...pop the ball off and then stick it back on with thick glue. I used a dab of gorrila glue.

Worked great. just like the look of the Rebel one

 

Do you have any pics of the new and old?

 

For less than $25 you can get a stubby antenna from quadratec.com

I put my antenna in a vice and then bent it into a 45 degree angle, then back to a 90 degree angle to go around my windshield lights, didn't degrade sound quality in the slightest and no longer hits my lights.

 

i popped the ball off with pliers chopped it at bout ten inches in height reinstalled ball after filing tip down for tight fit ,painted it flat black and had a beer or three

 

I cut my Camaro antenna a while ago with bolt cutters and rounded it off with a dremel and painted it. Worked really well too.

 

Do any of y'all have pics?

 

Do you get better reception with this?

 

here is a pic from a good distance.

vise grips / dremel / glue.
