ANTENNA REPLACEMENT!!!
last night i brought home a 12" black powdercoated billet antenna and put in on the car in place of the factory 36' lightning rod they send you. it turned out real good and cleaned things up a little bit. i will post pics when i get some. i figured id tell you folks about this deal in case anyone elses is wanting to get rid of theyre big *** factory antennas as well.

Check your reception on your favorite radio stations. There's a reason the stock antenna is 30+ inches......

So I guess the 8" shorty antenna I got from mustangtuning.com can't get decent radio reception? wrong. I have no problem whatsoever and even get better reception in my parking garage than before I installed it. I was hesitant at first, but I haven't the slightest experience of bad reception.

I always heard that there is a good reason all factory antennas are 31" long; that is the length or the amplitude of a frequency-modulated (FM) wave. Your FM signal will be stongest when you can capture all 31" of FM goodness. Some shorter antennas compensate by adding wound-wire pod things. I don't know how that works or how well.
