Default Agency Power Shorty Antenna

Didn't see too many pictures of this antenna, so here it is for all of you wondering what it would look like on the Z. Horrible mobile phone pics sorry!

Thanks to VisionaryRacing for it

I have one too on my Z, same color. I live in the country being that I'm in Vermont and reception did drop over that of the stock one, but when I got into the city area's it sounds fine.

I just bought this antenna and couldnt be more dissappointed - it looks sick but, I live right in the middle of Phoenix and get bad reception pretty much everywhere with this antenna. Maybe someone on here wants to buy?

I would just like to say that I recently purchased an Agency Power shorty antenna and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I originally purchased a Perrin because it was cheaper. I was happy with the looks but the reception sucked. Luckily, one of the guys at the car wash I go to accidentally broke it screwing it back on after they finished washing it. The owner offered to pay for a new antenna and I went out and bought the Agency Power. It was slightly pricier, but it looks nicer (glossier) than the Perrin AND my radio reception has returned to normal. I highly recommend the AP shorty antenna.

I replaced my flagpole with this and lost all reception. I couldn't personally recommend this to anyone who plans on using their am/fm option, but if you're like me and hate the radio anyway then pop in your cd and look at how good your new antenna looks.

I have a feeling there are at least 2 different versions of the AP short antenna. I have a black one but the base is a different shape than OP. It flares out and doesn't have that "step" in it when installed. My radio reception was also destroyed even living in NYC.

Looks great, but for $33 and loss of signal I'll pass.

I bought a honda fit antenna (same as s2000) from the dealer for $9 + tax. Probably close to double the AP size from what I can see in these pics, but no loss of signal at all.

If I could find a good spot on the zr I would go with the same one I have on my mazda:

Had it custom wrapped in CF - power antenna with GPS and XM built in.
