Tint and shorty antenna

Started working on the fiancee's car this past weekend which included tint (20%), debadge, and the shorty antenna off of my Vette (oh the sacrifices) which is away for the winter. Here are some pictures:










Spring time should bring some SSC springs and new wheels.

Looks like a shipping protector. You can remove those if you want

The antenna looks like the Mid America Motorsports corvette shorty antenna -- too bad they only make them for the 6MM stud...

Thanks for the note. I didn't even notice them to tell you the truth. I'll remove them the next time I see the car. Its my fiancees car so I don't see it every day since we're not living together yet.

Actually its a ZIP Corvette shorty. Its nice and cheap:

I got tired of waiting for a company to make a shorty antenna for the 7 MM stud. I bought a replacement antenna from CED (PN 15141455 -- w/shipping was under $25). I cut the 9 1/8" off the top -- and then cut the remaining antenna off flush with the base. I had to have a machine shop drill out the antenna from the base (9/16" deep) -- the antenna is made out of HARD steel and the base is brass. Then I cleaned the black coating from the bottom 9/16" of the top piece I cut, and using a soldering iron I soldered the antenna in the base. I rolled it along a table top to make sure I got it as straight as I could. It stands just over 10" from the stud mount and looks like a little factory antenna with the original wire coiled around it. Pictures aren't the best....
