Default (black) billet shorty antenna

Hey guys... who sells a nice shorty (black) billet antenna? I am looking for one that is about 12 inches. Is anyone using the 3 inch ones I have seen? Just wondering how recepton would be with that. I would consider something like that if it would still let me listen to the radio.

I got mine from www.blowbyracing.com

A black billet antenna and have seen no difference in reception clarity. I loved the change.

Attached pics show old and new...

I wish the Blow By Racing antenna was more tapered. I don't like how it's fat on bottom then goes skinny.

I have the 8" shorty antenna from AM/Stack Racing. It's not billet but as for reception, it's decent. I rarely listen to the radio though. More for the looks. The black did fade, I had to park my stang outside for sometime previously.

i used the 8inch shorty. radio sounded pretty good. now i have an antenna delete, Sirius radio.

but anyway, the 8and 14 inch ones are all good quality from AM. i would recommend them.

My 14" gets almost the same reception. I had a chance to test when I installed because I had taken a trip to Cincinnati the week before and noticed when my favorite local radio station cut out, and took the same trip again after the install and it seemed to cut out a few miles earlier. Literally like under ten miles earlier. No significant hit in reception at all.
