Default 50 cal antenna

So I already have an s2k antenna but i recently saw a DemolitionRanch video and he had a 50 cal antenna on his truck.

The company sells the same thing for Zs. I was curious if anyone had any experience with these antennas?

Wow, not a fan, to each their own.

I run an Acura RDX shorty with good results, a Perrin stubby for shows, looks only.

It's cool looking, but not for the Z in my opinion. I think that style would look better on the center roof mounted fixtures.

I probably wouldn't even notice it if it was on your car unless you pointed it out and then I'd be like "How much did you waste on that?!"

Honestly? I would never put that on any car. Unless you're an arms trafficker and trying to show off your products to people who thrive in the seedy underbelly of the black market, men who drive modded Toyota trucks with guns in the back, who live in cities where the streets have no names, and the women have no future. Then I'd consider it.

What is best in life?

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women.

Exactly. A stock antenna would get you killed with that group.
