Default Anyone do Metra amplified antenna install on a convertible?

Hey everyone,

I am going to do the custom antenna delete mod on my '06 GT convertible:

I want to install the metra amplified antenna to replace it like below:

Has anyone done this before? The above link is for a coupe, would it work the same on a convertible?

Thanks guys!

Nick

odiaz used this antenna (though he and I both welded in the antenna hole. That plug method is kinda "funky" looking IMO)

I have done car audio for 12 years and will say the amplified hidden antenna will NOT perform as good as a mast antenna. Since I rarely if ever listen to FM I just removed the mast. I have iPod and Sirius.
