Shorten your own, it's so much easier and cheaper. Cost ya maybe black spray paint and some jb weld

I took a dremel with a cut-off wheel...sliced off the ball at the top. Took the dremel, sliced the antenna at about 14". Took some epoxy and glued the ball to the new tip. Let dry for about 2-3 hours. Took some flat black testors model paint and cleaned up the work.
Reception is great, probably 95% of the original, no different from any other shorty. Cost me absolutely nothing, 15 mins of time, and looks like it came on the car.

I knocked the tip off the factory antenna, cut down to 14", super glued tip back on, no touchup reguired.
