Shorty Antenna Poll

Alright I've searched the forum to try and see which shorty is best (MP or ARK) but they both seem to have gotten mixed reviews...so based on your experience or knowledge and stuff, which would you recommend? (I have an 09 LT) TY

I'd have to say the ARK, I had the MP one and it didn't fit exactly, but could have been install error

First thing I did when I got my cobalt was take off that antenna and I put a white rubber cap on the end sticking out of my car. Looks way better!!!! really dont understand why gm put this huge ****** antenna. riuns the look of the car. With the technologie that we have they should have put it in the window or with the onstart and xm radio on top of the roof.

best way is with a good set of bolt cutters, snaps it right off and you don't even have to remove it from the car to do.

I have the ARK. Never tried the normal radio with it, because I am either listening to XM or a CD. I think the ARK looks nicer. I looked at both before I made my purchase a few years ago.
