I am thinking about pulling off the electric antenna off my camaro and installing one of these micro antennas

My electric antenna is not working and I think that having a small antenna would look better and stand out too much.

Has anyone bought one tried one, or recommend a different one?

 

Currently in the same situation, I've used the solid rubber antenna and it works well, only thing I would suggest is don't purchase the one that unscews from its base as the threads are not long lasting. Eventually I would suggest rebuilding the original.

 

So the link to the above is no good? You think the antenna will fall apart soon? I don't intend on pulling it off once I screw it on.

 

That's going to look ridiculous on an F-body.

 

Yeah I am just trying to picture it. The original ones cost too much like $160. Here is one on EBay for $20 sounds way cheap?

I don't know what to do. I am not sure what is wrong with mine but I will find out once I strip the car.

 

I shaved my antenna off. I hate how it breaks up the lines on the front fender. I unscrewed it and then rerouted it under the dash pad. Welded up the hole and bondo-ed over it. It looks really clean. Something to think about.

has anyone ever thought about putting a-pod antenna on the roof? i thing one of those bmw apod antennas would look good on a camaro firebird.

Or classic industries sell that invisible antenna. that is just a piece of wire that you cn have anywhere. That is another thing I am thinking about removing it all together.

Hmm.

 

alot of new cars nowadays have a small ant that sticks on the inside of the rear windshield or hatch, looks like a mini T

 

That's what I did- looks awesome. Who even listens to the radio?!

 

I agree with BlackBetty. Why not just get one of those antennaes that you can put right above your rear view mirror on the inside of your car. It's really small. A friend of mine has it. His car looks sharp with the antannae shaved.

 

if you can hear your radio your car isnt loud enough

 

See, its the exact opposite for me. If you can hear/feel the engine, the stereo isnt loud enough. Garunteed I'll be deaf by 30.

 

lol i never thought of that

 

I know this is an old thread, But how do I take off the stock antannae? I cant seem to get it off. Do I have to take off the front fender?

 

What about maybe shaving it and just putting it in the fender not sure if there is room for it to sit in there.. but food for thought... instead of laying it up like "|" straight up and down maybe a "______" undernearth the fender you know? then you get the reception, the smooth looking fender.. and you dont have to spend the money on a new antenna also if you need a new windshield i know they can put the antenna inbetween the glass... my buddies dad has that looks great.. can't even notice it.. its so high up on the glass... could get pricey though... being a custom windshield.

 

like just the stick? put a wrench on the base and turn counter clockwise... make sure to hold the retainer nut with a pair of vice grips.. or needle nose thats all i did...

 

old post with a new post

i took my mast off, i need to shave mine when i do the body work but all i did is get a regular antenna and put it up under the dash, it pics up just as good as the factory one
