They are semi-hard. They can flex a bit if you bend it by hand, but it does not move or flex while driving at all.

 

ahh ok , how are these antennas

No idea on that one. Looks a bit shorter. Hard to tell on fitment of the base or reception quality...

 

Perrin short antenna is awesome! I have no reception issues whatsoever and it fits the base as though it were an OEM...no "hanging off the edge syndrome". What's even better is that Vivid Racing gave it to me for free as my order for Greddy sides was delayed by a couple of days

 

"How is the reception?"

"What??"

"HOW IS THE RECEPTION??"

"WHAT???"

Get short, listen to CDs.

 

Which Antenna is that??

I have HD Radio and it sounds just as good as CDs, a tad bit better than Sirrius. That's why I don't want to lose alot of reception.

 

Off eBay. 2" I think. The picture was meant to show the fit against the base, which a lot of people used to ask about.

Reception is good in town, but I live in south Kendall (about 17 miles south, towards Homestead) and then I start to loose some stations. But the BOSE sound is not that good anyway, so I listen mostly to CDs and my iPod...

 

is it just me or does the shorty antenna's only look good on cars with body kits? anyone have it on a bone stock car?

 

I have the S2K antenna, and couldn't be happier. Reception is just as good as oem, hangs out of the base by like 1-2mm, so you won't see the difference until you look up close at it. The whole thing looks OEM.

here's a couple of faraway shots when my car was stock:

 

i stand corrected...looks great!

 

hey is there no way you can paint that bottom rubber poece of the antenna?

 

maybe, i didn't want to experiment on my car. i dont think you can paint rubber.

 

I also cut mine down to 7". I siliconed the top edge & glued on the top cap from Home Depot. Reception is Great!

 

idk man i was just askin, no need to be smart about it....thansk for the reply though

 

how do you cut the oem antenna?

do i just cut with wire cutters and glue on with crazy glue?

how do i take off the cap?

thanks

 

I'm honestly not trying to be a smart ***, but do people still listen to the radio? Everytime I turn the radio on I hear the same exact few songs.

CD's ftw.

 

Perrin's website (just went there) doesn't offer a shorty specifically for the Z. Which one did you Perrin guys use?

 

I have the perrin one, but it seems to have faded in color. Don't know if it was just me as well but the reception was not great, when it rained, it was all static.

 

I have the S2K one and the reception is quite decent... listen to the radio a lot for sports!!
