iwineng03ss Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 i need a shorter antenna. i hate driving into the garage and hitting the top of the door entry.. most that i have seen on ebay have been billet. i would like a black one. anyone out there know where to get one? i need something that still gets stations in so if i have to pay more its fine.. i just dont want some rubber piece.. i checked stylinconcepts but they are big on chrome and billet. thanks for your help guys!!

Dylan06SS Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 get a billet and have it painted, powdercoated, or anodized. in my experience the billet antennas get better reception than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBSS Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 But isn't the problemwith billet aluminum AM/FM antennas the lack of flexibility? As in, when they bend, they break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 get a billet and have it painted, powdercoated, or anodized. in my experience the billet antennas get better reception than stock. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Really i had the exact opposite with my tahoe but i guess that is because i think i really messsed with the audio setup so much, besides it looks good and i hardly listen to the am/fm because Xm is the shiz-nit.

steve summers Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I bought a billet 9" black powdercoated one off of EBAY. Reception didn't change that I notice. I also got one for my buddy for his '02 Excab. It broke the antenna base off on a trip through the car wash on him. It was one of those swinging rag type washes which I never use.

mwarren Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I got a 12" black one from stylinconcepts.com. It was only $20Antenna <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I like the looks of that one. I am always looking at the stock one flopping in the wind...it drives me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 The flopping won't go away, but it is less noticeable since the antenna is shorter, thicker, and less flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big O Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I think I might go this route .... (I have trouble with my antenna hitting my garage door) "Hidden Antenna" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
