bitvipers antenna is more popular than any other mod to antenna's on here. some dont like it, most do.

I'm running a 13" stock style antenna and I love it. The bitviper antenna IMO just doesn't go with the car.

Search feature here blows, I search for bitviper mod and this is the only thing that comes up with bitviper in it.

cut the stock one. Very easy.

Go to a junk yeard and find one off another GM. Cut that puppy to whatever length you want and then just reattach that little ball thingy to the top of it again.

the ebay antennas are so cheap though. I cut my stock one at first but didn't cut it as much as I should have and the ball was kind of a PITA to put on so I just went and bought one from ebay for like $12.

I'd go with the BitViper but there are so many f-bodys in my area (not on LS1tech though) and I'm worried that it wouldn't last a week before it got stolen off my car.

I think I'm going to go with the cheapo one off of eBay.

Thanks Guys.

I just got one of the generic ones off of eBay too for like $12 shipped. I went with the 18" because the 12" just looked too short IMO. I can't tell ANY difference in reception between the stock and 18" antenna...

That's what I did too. I got the 8 incher. Scheduled to be delivered in the mail today. We'll see how the reception goes. Luckily I only listen to the radio for the news. I'm a CD guy.

Thank you all.

i took one off a wrecked z06

I got it in the mail and on the car yesterday (8" off eBay). Cost me $12 shipped. The reception is good (a little static on the stations from far away). That was one of the cheapest mods that make the car look a lot younger, those big antennas are a thing of the past now.

Now when I see a camaro with a stock antenna I can't believe how tall they are. I believe they are like 30". The 12" (i think) one I got is perfect because the top of it basically lines up with the top of the car.

Sounds like the 18"... 4 inches taller than mine now would still be shy of the top. JMO.

Thats exactly what I like about it too! The fact that it lines up with the top of the car.

I got the 12$ one off eBay too.

I looked on ebay, it is actually the 13" one.

Shorty Antenna the easy ans cheap way.

Take antenna cut down to desited length. go to Ace hardware and get a rubber cap to cover the cut end.

Finished
Cost $.05
Looks as good as the expensive ones.

PM Bitviper you wont be disapointed.i just put one on my black z28 and it looks awesome

I chopped my stock one on half. Couldn't get the ball off to put back so I dipped the end of the antenna in some enamel paint to cover the scratch marks. Came out fine, looks much better IMO.

My dad thinks I was nuts cutting it - "makes your radio not work so well" - but I hardly use the radio and reception didn't noticeably change anyway.

I bought the stubby antenna for my car from Afterthoughts Auto but it didn't fit my LT1 (put it on my silverado).
My 93 has a thicker dia. threaded mast. Anybody have the same problem, find one that fits?
I know Bitviper's is wound in the base to keep reception, which is what I would want, but I don't think he makes two diameters. The one my truck inherited lost reception!

Bitviper includes a few adapters with his antennas

Thats the one I have. Also my friend cut his down then put the ball back ontop.

BitVipers are terrible man, my friend used to have one and all of us laughed at his bitviper because it looked like a limp d*ck. Its way to thick and attracts to much attention to the antenna, when all you want is stock looking subtle one. My buddy immediately agreed with our point of view, took it off then he cut down his old one.

Ouch...another limp dick comarison....Im startging to get a complex!

i wouldn't worry about someones opinions when its compared to a dick. sounds more like a guilty pleasure of theirs.

also, I PM'ed you

Yah, & his location says it all.

I got my BitViper last week & communicated to BitViper that it would be installed on my LSX Miata (me understanding that a retrofit would be required). BitViper's communication was excellent & shipping fast. It installed easier than I thought. Just a little base tweaking (since it's a GM design) & she fit & looks great. Did not lose a bit of reception either. Thanks BitViper.

I got mine from Eckler's Corvette (probably 90% of new GM antennas are interchangeable) but cutting the stocker and adding a vacuum cap would probably save $25.

I made mine..cut it down to about 10"..mamaged to get the ball off of it and just Dremeled it down to where the Ball fit back on tight.

Personally I don't like the stock one.. it makes it look like a fckn RC Car..lol

I got the 8" shoty and it looks better than the stock one.

I bought a 12" shorty off Ebay about 2 yrs ago, no reception difference as far as I could tell and it definitely looks better than stock, nice cheap upgrade too

Here is my little wang..

I love the look of my BitViper antenna, and the thing was cheap. Can't remember what, but it was not a lot fo cash.
