I took the factory antenna and removed the ball on the end and cut it to 14" and replaced the ball. It works great.



I agree, just cut it, save your money for the next mod

I got the 8" one from American Muscle. At first you're like "woah. That looks horrible." because you're used to the flag pole, and probably on some unconscious level you're like "oh no! my car's uh...*****...is smaller!"

But then you look at your car later and you really appreciate how nice hte car looks without the ridiculously long antenna.

14&quot\\; from american muscle looks like what the car should have come with from the factory.

i put my 8" on the other day and loved it right away. I don't use the radio all that much so I can't tell you what reception is like, however, the antenna looks great.

I had bought a cheap e-bay one and it never fit right.... I cut my factory one yesterday.... Reception is great... I went to 16", knocked the ball tip off and crammed it back on....
