How does it look ghetto? Cut the stock antenna, get a cap to put on the end and it looks stock minus the length.


Its ur choice if u want to spend $40 on a antenna which is not going to do anything, I wouldnt.

Depends on how you do it...nice cutting wheel would work to smooth it nicely...all I had was a shitty hacksaw that wouldn't even dent the thing. I held mine with pliers where I wanted the length, and bent it til it broke...buying the cap tomorrow. So yeah, mine looks ghetto right now, but will look nice with a cap. Shortened it to the leangth of the highest point on the wing. Also, no signal loss.
