Default Antenna

So the otherday after looking at some pictures of my Car, i noticed how obnoxiously large the antenna is.. ive been looking at the shorty ones from American muscle but it would get stolen in a second at my school...do they do locking ones?? and if so where can i get my hands on one??

thanks
chris

Hmm...I'm not too sure about locking ones. But I'm assuming you could just get some locktite and seal it with a shorty antenna.

The only way it would get stolen is if someone has a wrench in their pocket. They go on pretty tight, and put some lock-tite on, it wont come off easy. Besides, its only $20 bucks, its worth the risk.

The lock-tite won't affect your reception, go for it!

Go with the 14" it follows the body lines of the car, looks good.

I've got the 8" and its a good length. 14" might not be enough change from the stock.
