  • Please post shorty antenna pics!

    The automatic car wash destroyed my antenna. I searched the forums but haven't found any pictures that I liked. I found a shorty 14" mast antenna on ebay for twenty bucks. I'm curious on who has done an antenna mod and please post pics.

    Thanks, Joe

    First I modified my stocker:



    Then I shaved it and replaced with a functional shark fin

          ^^Nicer looking than a cut stocker, but way more expensive ;)

            I really like the shark fin antenna. Did you have to put a hole in your roof in order for that to work?

            The logical choice for my would be a stock antenna cut short. Does that effect reception?

            Thanks everyone for the pics. I like all of the mods.. gotta figure which is best for the black '00 SLOMARO. :rock:

                Yes I had to cut a hole in the roof to mount it. I ran the wires to the stock antenna wire and powered it off my stereos remote wire. It also does satellite radio/GPS so that's nice. But no, it's not a super easy install.

                Cutting the stocker does affect reception, I found the radio to get decent reception for the most part, but definitely less than stock. I hardly listen to the radio, so I didn't really care.

                  Yeah, I don't even have the radio hooked up in my Camaro. I only listen to my ipod/flash drive

                    I just ordered a 14" shorty antenna from eBay. It looks exactly like the factory antenna, only 17" shorter. I will post some pics after it arrives and I install it.

                    Thanks for your help and all of the pics!

                        went with the 8" shorty from afterthoughtsauto, i like how it's almost as thin as the stocker unlike some of the other bulkier shorties:

                            Not to rehash an old thread/subject, but I am not happy with the 14 inch shorty metal antenna that I purchased. I'd like to go with the rubber eurostyle antenna. Where can I find the "bitviper" antenna?

                              LS1tech. He's a member on there.

                              I'm happy with my 3.5" stubby antenna, but I don't listen to the radio very much. I'll have to snap a quick pic of it next time I'm at the hangar.
