Wow! thats such a stub. Its shorter than mine(get your mind out or the gutter. lol)

Nice antenna. Mine is about that height also.

It blends well better some of the others I have seen, but I like my stock antenna. It reminds of a R/C car kinda, but I must admit it is quite huge.

Yep, same one I have. It gives clearance for everything that goes on the racks.

wow that's tiny

It isn't always about the size.. (wink) How does it affect the reception?

 

[kableguy]

very noicceee

hey,

I hacked up my stock one and cut it down to roughly the same length. It did not effect the signal strength in the slightest bit.

Has anyone tried the antenna from protege garage? I wanted to do this soon - the euro model looks good!

 

[redpr5]

a bit on the pricey side tho, but def worth it!

[mzdp5fan]

anybody know if the shark fins for the mazda 3 group buy would work? For some reason the link i posted didn't work.

sorry it's dirty. Canadian winters are very salty! lol As somebody said, it did not affect reception one bit. of course you can cut it even shorter, you just have to find a bigger rubber cap to cap it.

I got a shorty antenna off ebay. It was cheap, but the radio reception suffers. I hardly ever use the radio, though, so I don't care much. Those who do, just know the ones on ebay aren't that great.

Depends on whether you roll in metro or small town-to-rural areas & signal strength of the radio stations. I have the 2.5" one & there is no difference in in-town reception & I still pull in stuff on the road just as good. Also the surrounding terrain will have impact. I live where is mostly flat so that makes a difference too.

I've got it on my car, the reception with it is the lose. For the record, I have the factory stereo.

Anyway, I listen to the radio once in a blue moon so I don't care that much. It is annoying the few times I do listen to the radio; however.

Damn that is one small thingy I mean antenna, but nice looking one.

Indicative of nothing but clearance for items on the rack..........
