when was your 06 made? you may have the 7mm stud and in that case... you are pretty much out of luck when it comes to shorty's all they have are ones you need to make an adapter for. Do what I and a bunch of others have done. chop your antenna to the height you want it, and chop the ball and attach it back on top. you can have a shorty that cost you nothing but a half hours work and its made from the stocker.

Go ahead and spend some money on one... quality counts. Mine's an ARK short antenna... I got it from e-bay... but ARK sells them online as well.



Come on guys... admit it... cut and capped stockers and rubbery cheap-o shorties can't top this.

agreed. Just cut your stocker, take some black silicone and put it on the tip where you cut it, and put a little rubber cap where the silicone is and bam! shorty antenna. I got my rubber cap from NAPA but any auto store will sell them.

I cut mine and I personally think it looks better than that shorty. I like the twists in the stocker. I cut mine to about 13" though not that damn short. Do what you want, I thought a free better looking shorty was worth it. If you like the shorty go for it and get it, either is better than the stock length.

agreed, i cut mine to a nice length, right around 13-14" and it is even with my roof now. plus I still have good enough reception to pick up the stations I want. I tried a shorty and it sucked ***** reception wise... but I am 50 miles out of boston and looking for boston stations

I think the Ark is like 6 inches... it's really short... fits in my back pocket. I had another one that was level with the SS wing... but it still looked huge with my wingless trunk... so I had to go shorter.

I got mine from Ebay and it's worked fine for well over a year and a half. So I think you should be good.
