Default Great place for stubby antennas

Just wanted to share. I have had a lot of PM's about my stubby billet antenna and I found the ebay store that I bought it from. I got mine for about $15 shipped and it was shipped instantly. I received it literally 2 days after I bought it. It fit perfectly and looks awesome and they have a ton of different ones to choose from. I would recommend this guy. You can see it at my car domain site below. Here is the link to the seller's store. His alias on ebay is jhongs also. Fletch

Thanks for the link.. so many to choose from
Yours looks awesome, which one do have?
They're local, so if I'm lucky I can pick one up instead of waiting for shipping

Those are good prices .... Most of those look to be about $2 cheaper than elsewhere that I have seen them.

Does the antenna do what its supposed to do, or is it just a fashion statement?

The S2000 one works well. Most of the others including the one I have provide for almost zero reception but look good. With a 6 disk +MP3, plus Sirius, I never use the radio anyway.

even if the antenna is the real Mccoy, the height of the stub still has to clear the trunk lid in order to get the best reception....you need at least six inches to do the job......chicks like it long.

Got mine from the same seller.

Good price, quick shipping, quality product.

Regarding reception, honestly haven't noticed any difference. But I'm guessing it will be degraded somewhat when I'm in marginal areas.

That why I carry the S2000 antenna in my drivers side map pocket for when I am in low reception area and want to listen to the radio. Frankly, I like my CD's a lot so I only play the radio one in ten times out.

I have the Perrin shorty antenna. You can get it from JSCSpeed.com

Its a perfect fit. No lost of reception. And if I do go on a road trip where I might lose FM reception, I have XM.
