Where did you purchase antenna and how much? Goes better with vehicle.

Yeah, I am sick of hitting my antenna on the garage. Where did u get that? At first, I saw that flag pole in the background and thought, "Eww, what was he thinking?" The 2nd pic helped a lot! :o
my friend sells them for $30 shipped
When I saw that first photo with the pole in the background I thought "DAYUM!" Brought a chuckle.

Otherwise the shape of the letters are identical. Made of brushed aluminum with clear coat on an aluminum base painted black. It's like simultaneous graphic design! I also like the antenna.
Cool! Yah thats what it is hand cut aluminum...Quote:

I like the short antenna. Sign me up for one!
Did anyone buy one of these antennas?
How's the reception? Equal or better than stock?
I have one. It looks WAY better in my opinion and I have not noticed a decrease or increase in reception, but then again, I only listen to NPR if I am listening to the radio at all, so I am not really a good person to ask. But like I said, it does not seem worse, that's for sure....Quote:

I kept the bag for the antenna for the very purpose of remembering exactly what it is. I will see if I can find said bag now and post the info.
Bart
check your pm's guys...
This seller has many styles/lengths. Our VX's are 16" with a 6mm stud

I bought one of the longers ones from this seller and my reception decreased dramatically. The build quality isn't as good as the OEM either- the top cap has already come off. My plan for a replacement is getting VW Beetle antenna.Quote:
