This is the shortest one I've seen besides the guys that shave off their antennae. Where did you acquire?
Did you find it cheaper then this? http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/p...8-p-53484.html

how's the reception?

Just ordered an "O" series in black, thanks for the link! I'll update with reception quality once it's in.

Very decent, no worse or better than the stock stick. Your results may vary, though, depending on where you live.

I forgot to mention that the I antenna is made of aluminum, black painted aluminum to be exact.

it looks good and all but im not feeling it. Its just way too small LOLZ. I think the honda s2000 one is a good blend. Got mine for 20$ a few weeks ago. Certainly nicer than stock.

The s2k antenna almost makes the Z look like its radio controlled like an R/C car.

PS my radio has always sounded like crap, but who listens to the radio anyways

Mine just came in today : no gap or anything noticeable. I got the "O" series.
Great pickup





^ did a bumper tuck and took the rear wiper off too plugged up perfectly.

I have the 1.5" stubby one. I don't use the radio that much, I use my iPod or iPhone for music. Here is a pic.

BTW, it's $12 off ebay.

Your mother is too short.


Seriously though, it's not too short, it looks good. If you listen to radio daily and need good reception, then RDX is great, but if you want to get rid of the antenna as much as possible, what I have is the best. Barely notice it compared to stock or RDX.

Find a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. Great shorty antenna. Perfect fit. I found one sitting right next to me in my garage, hope my wife does not notice.
