Just got my shorty from antennax on ebay and it looks OK....it is much blacker than the base part of the antenna that is attached to the car....i'm assuming others had this issue? Does it fade over time? Or did you just paint it? Did you paint the base attached to the car also? If so, what color, and what type of paint? Thanks in advance!

Oh yea, and if you did paint, anyone got pics?

 

I got the 15" factory looking one AX16(not the rubber one they sell on ebay) from Antennax's website... Looks good...

 

Wow I bought a short attena from Attena X and it looks way different then that, way better IMO.... You can kinda see it in this picture. I will try to take a more close up one for ya when I get off of work.

 

I must admit, I like Xenozx's way better....

 

yea thats the one i got...but i hate the color difference between the antenna (glossy rubber look) and the base of the antenna of the car (glossy metal look)...would clear coating it or painting some particular color help this?`

 

y not just cut down the factory metal one instead of putting in one of those ugly rubber ones

 

you can just cut it? does it work as well? pics?

 

Just go to Pep Boy's,Checker, Auto Zone...wherever and buy a billet antenna from the rice section they work great and actually look pretty damn good
