Nice shorty antenna for $10

I'm very curious to see how either of these look and function:





Anyone try them out?

Nice, please post pics when you get it! The listing for the other antenna ATL BRZ recommended also says "Radio Reception may be affected with the short antenna." But it sounds like people have had fine reception with that one. So who knows...these super short ones might be fine too.

Nice...

Also to the poster above... post pics of the 2.4" and also looking forward to seeing the bullet version.

@OmarGC, @Phaedrus29:

came in today, just installed it. comes with a few different screw sizes, but the one that fits fits perfectly. the color is a little different than the stock setup. it's a darker black while our stock antenna is a little more faded although i think it looks fine. haven't extensively listened to any radio yet, but i'll try it out during the commute tomorrow and post my thoughts. i did try a couple of AM news stations and they seemed to work fine. HD icon came up for both stations so we'll see.

Cool, thanks for the pics. So what's your overall impression of the look in person? Please keep us updated with the reception.

I'm still interested to see that spline version since it LOOKS like the color might match a bit better.

i'm pretty sure all of this seller's antennas have the same finish, but i think it looks fine. i just wanted something low profile to replace the stock antenna with. but yea, i'll be sure to post an update with some impressions when i can.

that being said, it looks like the seller has another noteworthy antenna option ($2 more than the others):

ok, some further impressions. i think it looks fine. coworkers agreed, looks a lot better than the stock antenna. radio quality however is horrible haha. sound cuts in and out a lot even though the HD icon is there. so yea, if radio isn't important to you then i'd say go for it.

I'm still rocking my little bullet antenna

Received the spline version today...I think it looks pretty good but will have to check it out in better lighting. Here's a quick pic:



More pics to come and I'll also let you know about the radio reception.
