I have the Steeda antenna and have had no problems at all. And it definitely looks better than that 3 foot coat-hanger that comes stock.

Cut mine off with a hacksaw and rounded off the top on the grinder, touched up with some semi gloss black and it works/looks fine. Reception doesn't appear to suffer any, but I use the MP3 player feature 95% of the time anyway.


Total cost - $0

Thanks. Now all I have to do is find a winning lottery ticket so I can do the rest of the mods I want! [:@]

Sorry for the stupid question, but do all 2006 Mustangs come with the antenna on the right fender? I don't remember seeing it when I test drove the GT two weeks ago and I don't see it on any of the photos in the brochure I got from my salesman! I really don't like it, if my GT comes with it I'll probably end up removing it, maybe going with something like this:

Dkano,
It may have still been in the trunk. This is where mine was when I went to go pick her up from dealer.

crisc

Viking,
14" shorty anteanna here. Im about 20-25 miles south from chicago, no complaints here on reception.
goes right to the roofline, I like it

Excellent news! I just placed the order for two of them! Let me know what local shows you go to this summer, I'll bring the GT there.
