i just got this shorty antenna from antennaX off of ebay. it was 15 bucks... 10 for the antenna and 5 for shipping. it was a pretty good deal, and i love the way it looks over that gigantic stock antenna. i haven't tried out the radio or my ipod fm transmitter yet to make sure the quality is the same, but when i do i'll let everyone know.

here's some pics for now.

yea, i like the way it looks a lot. as for the gti, i have no idea who's it is, whoever i parked next to in the lot. it's one of the larger lots on campus.

i prefer mine and if your wondering about reception it's not as bad as you might think :) http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c390/P7XP7X/noantenna.jpg

where'd you get that from? and the reception isn't as bad as i think, but it has deteriorated right? i can't have my reception be any worse than stock, since even stock the ipod fm transmitter sounds like garbage.

It's just a rubber vaccum plug, and surprisingly recpetion is not that bad, but it would be worse than stock. I use to use my ipod but couldnt stand the shit quality of sound so went back to cd's but this summer getting my the ipod adapter hardwired in the car so theres no sound quality lost.

I see you p7x :d

Is the reception noticably different?

It is usually the ipods and their transmitters that are to blame not the antenna. I had one that always sucked even if I set the ipod next to the ipod on the trunk. I would reccomend a hardwire. as for the antennas I dont like that nipple set up. It's so short you might as well shave the whole thing and re-paint it. I do like the shorty though.

yea, the receotion sucks with my stock antenna, so any deterioration of reception is going to make it even worse. i plan on hardwiring my ipod in when i get my new head unit into the car, but for now i have no way of doing it.

So iso, how's the reception with they shorty? I'm ready to buy the same antenna, but I'd just like to know how the reception is (though I'll probably end up getting it anyway :rolleyes: ).

i'll let you know some time tomorrow. i had a cd in on the drive back to school after i put the antenna on, so don't know what the reception is like. i'll check tomorrow when i go out to get my phone that i left on the visor in the car. :rolleyes: i'm lazy.

LOL I know THAT feeling... :D

yea, i was like 100 yards from my car when i realized that i left it, and i was just like... eh, i'll get it later. that was on sunday...

I could really care less about reception. Only time i've listened to the local radio was during and in the aftermath of Katrina. XM rocks!

Now if only they made iPod xm transmitters... :cool:

that would be sweet! as far as i can tell the reception is the same.

I am shaving my antenna. pulling the wing tonite too (sold on ebay) then the trunk lock is out. all shaved. cant wait!!

Ordered my shorty... :D

it's amazing that such a minor thing can do so much for the appearance of the car.

Iso, what university sticker is that on your back window?

I see you p7x :d

honestly I don't know, I never listen to the radio. But I went out the night I did it and picked up a ton of channels. The best thing to do is just unscrew the antenna and drive around and see if u pick up the station u listen to. If not then get a shorty, if ur happy with what you get go to the hardware store and get a vacuum tube and put it on the small bolt that the antenna screws into. BAM i think it looks a million times better than stock.

rowan university, in glassborro nj.

The UPS man just brought my shorty! I put it on already, and it looks HOT. Got to take some pics and get them up here for you guys. Thanks, kelleyperformance, for steering me to WCC, I love the antenna.
