RE: Short Antennas

Personally I think 8" would be too short.

I bought the 14" and am very ahppy with it.

RE: Short Antennas

I have the 8" from SS inserts. It was not cheap. It works fine. I think 14 might look a little better.

Take a dremmel out, pop off the tip, cut to size of your liking, place the tip back on. Use some black touch up over any scuffed areas.

*looks in pants*
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE 8-inch IS TOO SMALL!!!!

jk

Anyone know the performance differences between the two antennae? I'd assume the 14inch would be better, but radio wavelengths are 1m, so virtually anything would do, I guess. I hardly ever use the radio, anyway, so I'd probably choose for appearances only. My iPod and sat-radio fill my music needs.
