Default shorty antenna

sorry if this question has been asked before...

looking to buy a replacement for the 'wayyyy too long' stock antenna on my new GT. what's the general concensus on best buy for a shorty antenna around 12-14"?? i'm looking for black color and i've found a few in the $20-$30 range but figured i'd ask the experts here before i end up with a piece of junk.

I've heard that the 14" is just about the roofline of the car so it looks perfect.
(Thats what I plan to go with)

I got the Billet shorty antenna (http://www.mustangtuning.com/bialshan.html). At 13' I find it a little too short for my tastes, (About an inch taller would have been perfect.) but MUCH improved over the stock antenna. Radio reception hasn't changed at all. Hope that helps some.

I like the 8" black shorty ($20/MustangTuning)... it practically disappears on a black vert. The reception is fine - not that I use it much, I like the iPod...
