well my antenna anyway! just got finished chopping it down! followed that how to: on the site! chopped it down to 8 inches and reception is good!! all the 6 presets work good except country 101.9 but i'm also 50 mins away from the city and it's only a bit staticky! lol i know that isn't even a word lol oh well... might be were the car is sittin in my yard i donno cause "the beat" and "the bounce" come in crystal clear and there both in the city as well! but anyways i'm really happy with the outcome and love the new look of my "shorty" antenna... and it only cost me 5 bux for the caps lol!

 

this thread is worthless without pics lol good job though

 

oh i took pics! i will post up later gotta get ready for work right now but when i come home i'll upload them!!

 

I was debating doing that but id rather go and buy the stubby one.

 

Thread Fail

 

I cut mine too, made it 1ft long and capped it

 

alright so onto the pics

 

Nice i like it!
beats $50 for the ARK one eh?

 

yeah that's the route i was gonna go cause i didn't think i could locate the vacuum caps here but i did and so glad i saved myself the extra coin!! now that can go into other mods!

 

The ARK antenna is not $50

 

where did you get that cap?

 

thats looks way better

 

the ARK one would probably cost close to $50 by the time it came to nova scotia canada after shipping and whatnot... i found the caps at canadian tire in the "help" section, it was like $3 for the variety pack, u need the 1/8 one for the top of the antenna

 

not bad at all,clean props to u

 

there we go! now it looks like a remote control antenna! lol j/k man nice job

 

i looked at autozone, which im assuming is the same thing as canadian tire, US boy here... they didnt have anything like that, but yea i cut mine the first week i have my car, i think mine is 10". stations still work great, but i use XM more than anything so it doesnt matter too much to me.

 

yeah i woulda removed it all together but i still listen to the radio from time to time to hear the weather or whatnot so i figured i'd leave a bit on there!
