she will like 8-inches better

Please someone give me feedback on this. I found this shorty antenna and it comes with three thread adapters so I think it will work on more than Fords. So far its the cheapest OE-looking shorty I have found. I will probably definitely order one next week. Kudos!

Re: she will like 8-inches better

looks good, but they make hidden antennas for like 40 dollars, you can hide under the dash pad, look up the company autoloc, and then search ebay for hidden antenna. if you don't want the hole in your fender, then yea i'd buy that. i'm pretty sure any antenna would work, and if not they make adapters

Re: she will like 8-inches better

I put an 8" ant. on my car. I like the look MUCH better. The stocker always made me think my car looked like a R/C car. Mine didn't need an adapter though, found it on ebay.

Re: she will like 8-inches better

Ron, holy hijack batman. Go to the wheels forum and search. You need to know offset and bolt pattern of the wheels you're looking at. Good luck in your search.
