Hello everyone. I am looking to pick up one of the shorty antennas for our Cobalt SS. Anyone know where I can find one?

 

Check any auto parts store. Real cheap, like 6 bucks at Autozone, Checkers, Pepboys etc.

 

Don't waste your money on a crappy plastic or rubber shorty... buy the real thing... looks 10x better. http://www.shortyantennas.com

 

Dont do any of these just cut your attena to your desired length and then put a small rubber tip on it. This look is much cleaner, and your reception is not compromised

 

So... tell me... which looks better to you?


STOCK


INEXPENSIVE RUBBERIZED SHORTY (flat black)


MY SHORTY (gloss black billet aluminum)


No opinions here... no flaming... no offense meant.

Decide for yourself.

 

Thanks SilverStreak for the Shorty thread. Looks like one of those is gonna do the trick.

 

I like the last pick,it is cleaner looking

 

what size is yours silverstreak? can't tell from the pic

 

I've decided all antennas look like ass. I'm going RK Sport 3 peice lip spoiler, shaved trunk lock, and shaved antenna (badges already gone). **** it, I got XM

 

I believe mine is a 15"... it's a little big longer than I would like... but I'm very very pleased with it overall...

I was looking for something to just be level with the roof line... this one is pretty darn close.

 

i removed my antenna and put a tire guage cap on it - still have radio (i only use it to listen to a talk show so i dont care if there is a slight loss in reception - makes my car looks sleak)

 

 

What did you use for a rubber tip?

 

I like the look of mine over most any i've really seen...



its actually more of a gunmetal than the chrome it looks like (due to camera flash). Looks sweet

I spent about 10 bucks for it on ebay but i had to drill and tap it to get the right size threads (6mm threading)

 

I like that idea.

I just cut mine down then used a touch up stick on the tip. Reception is still fine.

me 2

 

I like p7x's

 

ya thats what me and savior did loooks so much better

 

lol i took mine off completly (CAR COVER) i just put this ruber niple thing on it. Ill post pics later shat reception but XM kicks ass so no wories

 

You look like someone who could reeelly use some rubber neeeples...

 

i bought one from antennaX, and it bends when i drive, what a waste of money, its so cheap

and oh yea, xm sucks!!
sirius is better!

 

Guys just buy a shorty antenna for the corvette. Looks like stock but a lot shorter.

Thanks for the link! I just bought one today! lol my GF approved also....wont do anything to my car unless she approves....she has very good taste in cars! hahaha

use the tire cap mod or rubber nipple thing - believe me, your car looks sllllleeeeaaakkk and 90% of car drivers use their mp3 players, cds, or tapes - radio is ghey now - unles syou use XM
