ARK Shortty Antenna Question

Hey i just got an ARK shorty antenna for my 08 SS and it doesnt seem like its gonna fit. I was on there site and it says 2007-on All Models uses the the 7mm so thats what I ordered. Now when I unscrewed the stock antenna theres a 7mm male end and the new antenna has a 7mm male end?!?! Did i do something wrong? On their site it shows pics of their antenna with a female end....

My 08 LS has the 7mm male and the shorty I ordered had the female so I agree that it looks like a shipping error.

lol dood break off the end from the antenna and drill it out for 7mm, u gots access to a drill press and tap/die set? I had to do that for mine cause i was cheep and didn't want to buy another Ark shorty so i took the one off my last car and modified it to fit the balt, worked perfectly, just gotta paint it from all the tool marks but that'll be **** easy to do.

you can have them send you an adapter, bc you shouldn't pay to ship it back to them

reception is terrible for that lil antenna i had to put my stock one back on to get any kind of radio reception... sucks though cause the ark antenna looked sweet... i guess if i ever give up on radio i'll go back to it, i would have figured for 39 bucks it would have at least had descent signal.
