i know this thread has been started at least 6 times, ive seen 3 variations of it, but im too lazy to find them again and they didnt really answer my question. so here is my question: WHERE CAN I GET A SHORTY ANTENNA FOR AN 07? i went to advanced auto picked up one for 5 bucks and sure enough it didnt fit, and somehow i lost a piece afterwards so now i cant return it or use it on another car. where can i get one that will fit me?


gracias

 

Ark Racing....

just ask for the 7mm adaptor also they suggest ordering the aluminum one and not the rubber one, cause the adapter doesn't stand out. That's the one I have and i love it.

 

OMG!!! just cut the stock one

 

u jus cut the height u want? where u get the rubber cap frum?

 

you can cut it but heres the thing.. the reception is terrible/ worsened.... if you get the ark one.. the reception is just like stock...

 

bah ill buy one then, radio is key

 

my reception is the same....but i got the cap from autozone

 

Get one from ARK!!!! Great quality and looks great!

 

I just totally hacked mine off. looks good and i still get 3 stations!!! It just like before cable

 

I cut mine down too, no problem with reception.

 

it all depends on where you live.. if you live out of the city or in the city

 

honda element antenna, cut the male fitting off, tap it, done.

 

Ebay

 

Got the ark shorty... looks badass
Reception was what i was worried about, but it's the exact same where I live.

 

I just ordered the Opel GT Antenna from GMPartsdirect I am gonna drill it out and tap it to fit the cobalt. It is only about 14" long but it is manufactured that way so the coils are tighter so you end up with a 14" that is "tuned" (they are all tuned to work at optimly at their heights) to the shorter height

ARK Short antenna GB closing tomorrow !!

 

is there any shorty i can buy from advanced or autozone that would work? im 17, and i dont have a credit card to buy anything online and i dont plan on spending more than 15 dollars on it...i guess ill just have to cut it myself?

 

How far do you live from the stations you listen to?

 

20-25 minutes??

 

You should be able to cut your antenna to about 8" (8" looks sweet!) and pick thtem up fine. I had one cut at 8" but live about 45 min. away and had a little static if I drove about 5 min. closer I had no prob.

 

alright sweet...im not sure if i own anything that will cut it. what the hell am i supposed to use?

 

A hack saw works fine and you can get one at WalMart for like $3 or $4. Wrap it with tape so the little wire stays attached

If you use a hacksaw cut 1/2 way then just break it. Make sure you cut the little wire.

 

damn brah, that is pretty.
