Here was my thread about short antennas. I was going to get the 3' stubby you have but think I might go with the 8".

Thanks for making that thread...went with this one since it was similar to stock. It was a direct replacement and has good reception. It was $12.95 shipped and got it fast

Has to be imagined. The laws of physics cannot be denied with something as simple as a car radio antenna.

I just cut my stock one and put the ball back on.

I want to try that but it seems like the ball is attached to the antenna. How did you twist yours off?

This, i wasnt sure if the ball could come off so I just hoped on my car and started pulling from the top (primitive yes but I was bored)

Yeah just grab the ball with the grips and twist it off, cut to desired length, shave the end thin so you can tap the ball back on, paint then install.

I tried vice grips on mine but it just cracked the ball. So, I cut the antenna in half, and touched up the paint on the end. Looked fine, didn't need any ball on the end IMO.
