the gain it you have a cleaner looking car. if u cut down the antenna you loose FM channels. the antenna i have has an amplifier built in so you dont loose channels.

Since you had to custom wire things I guess it doesn't matter but pulling from the top could dent the surface around the hole...

Just a thought.

what bolts?? when i got the car the antenna was loose. lol it wasnt much work getting it out.
