I saw some short antennas on ebay and I was wondering how you think it would look if I got a short antenna? Has anyone done it and like it?

 

i didn't buy a shorter antenna off ebay...i just chopped my current one down to about 18" or so. The radio reception went down noticably.....if you actually bought a shorter antenna the reception would probably not drop as much though.

 

I just ordered one from SSInserts.com but won't have it for a couple more days.

I did my friends antenna. We knocked the ball off cut it down to about 8-10 inches and glued the ball back on. no reception problems at all. It just depends where you live how the reception will be affected.

 

I think I will try that, what did you use to glue the ball in place?

 

Some clear jb weld kinda stuff from autozone but any contact cement should work fine

 

I've got one from SS inserts and I love it. It looks great!

 

I just cut mine. Reception is fine too...never really had an issue with that.

 

Do it! It looks soooo much better! I didn't notice any reception difference.
