Default shorty antenna opinions

after takin some great pics and noticing i have a CB antenna......think i'm gonna change it

is radio reception really messed up that much, or is that just a disclaimer?

also, trying to add a lil chrome here and there, so black or billet? the polished billet looks pretty cool, it's 12"

cut your oem antenna, easy mod to do, knock off the tip, cut mast down (I cut mine down to 14") grind the end of mast down and super glue tip back on, still looks oem, no loss in reception and saves a couple of bucks for future mods.

I've got an 8" black, and my reception is the same as it was before with the 100" inch OEM antenna.

This is my shorty. It comes in black powder-coated or billet aluminum and screws on just like the factory one. Now that's a shorty!
