What are my options? I was going to do a power antenna from the T/A but I might just put a shorter antenna on there. Easier and probably cheaper. I did a search and nothing useful came up.

Thanks!

Pretty easy to install right? ;)

as easy as unscrewing the old one, and screwing the new one back in. this antenna is universal, it comes with 4 or 5 different adapters so it will fit just about anything. i tihnk my radio recpetion may have picked up a little, too. its the best $10 or however much it costs that ive ever spent for my car.

I just twisted the ball off the top of mine, cut half of it off with a dremel, ground the tip a little bit smaller, hammered/glued ball back on, painted and cleared it

Now its nice shiny black and short :)

I like my Billet Specialties polished billet antenna. Was about $20 and is about 12" tall. Not sure you can really see it in any of the pics in my sig link.

I also cut mine in half, i would highly reccommend it since its free. And, if you mess up then you will just go buy the short one and you didnt loose any $.
