American muscle is the place to go for little gadgets like that. Look into the 14 inch....... Flows with the roof line better IMO!

Made my own by cutting the stock antenna. No loss of signal strength at all. Topped it off with a rubber screw thread cover (size #8)to make it look store bought ($0.39 investment).

+1. That's where I got mine as well (but a 14") and I also agree with the size thing. Definitely consider a 14" antenna.

What I did was took thin strips of masking tape (or some other color you can see very easily) then put them around my antenna at 8", 12" (another one I was looking into getting from somewhere else) and 14". Then sit in your car, sit in the passenger seat, walk all around it, look at it from a distance, etc, and you can see what you like the looks of much more easily.

I initially thought I wanted to go with an 8" antenna, but after comparing the height to the 14" I decided the longer antenna looked way better and flowed a lot nicer with the lines of the car. The 8" looks great in pictures on here that people have of their Mustangs, but in person I wasn't a fan of that look.
