I'm looking for a new antenna that doesn't make my car look like it's a large remote controlled vehicle. I'm looking at some shorty antenna's but wanted to get other people's opinions on what they've used/seen and how it affected functionality (not that I use the radio alot, but still).

I know there is an old thread on this but I wanted to find out what might be new. Oh also I want one that's shorter; think the stock antenna without the metal twisty piece at the top. I'm not looking for the near non-existent tiny ones.

 

Try www.cravenspeed.com . That's where we found the stubby for BABY. Great reception as well.

 

I looked in your gallery but couldn't find a pic, do you have a picture of it on the Mini? I'd like to see what it looks like if you don't mind.

Thanks!

 

Go to www.altaperformance.com

They have the perfect sized 4" shorty antenna

 

Yeah I was looking at that one. Do you have a pic of it on your car? I want to see how "short" it looks. They only have a picture of the super shorty and I don't like the 1" thing.

 

Here's a shot of the one I got from outmotoring about a year ago, still looks pretty much the same, and no issues with radio reception (like you I don't use it much though).

 

Also using the one from Outmotoring. Look in my gallery for pics

 

Sorry, I haven't taken a pic of it yet since I just received it yesterday and put it on. Just take my word, I'm very happy with it!

 

I have the Alta 2". Radio works just fine for me. So nice to see that 12" one get thrown in the trash with the used kitty litter.

 

I also have the 2in from Alta and meh I will take the lose in reception for better looks. And its only on some of the less powerful radio stations and it really doesnt matter to me
