I have the 14" and no real loss in radio reception. Although stations that are already fuzzy may be a little worse

14", 8" is way too short and it kind of stands out. The 14" flows nicely and blends in. I got my 14" for $12 from AM when they had it on sale in december.

Go 11"....
It is perfact compremise between the two IMO. 100% free with 15 mintues of time to cut and paint the stock unit.

I like my 8" and I haven't noticed a loss in signal. My buddy has a 14" on his 04 and it looks good too. To each his own.
