i dont wanna go throught the hassle of getting a new antenae, has anyone just unscrewed it and trimmed the bottom and left like 8 inches of it sticking out? would that work ?

i dont even really listen to the radio that much and it bugs me

Hey, done it on just about ALL of my cars. What I do is remove the antenna, then take the ball off of the top with some pliers, cut off the amount that I want to remove, then shave the new top of the antenna a little so that the ball will fit over it. A couple swift hits with something will secure the ball back on.

I agree the antenna is ugly. The little ball on mine wouldnt just slide off w/ plyers. So I cut the ball off w/ a dremel, and cut the antenna down to the size I wanted. JB Welded, Sanded, painted, reinstalled



Bad pic, but you get the point

My buddy cut his stocker and it looked like ****, so I sprung for the $30 for a new Z06 antenna.

Looks much better than a cut unit, IMO.

Wow, that looks like my antenna. Just do it right and it wont look like ****. I would have sprung 30 bucks, but I didn't have 30 bucks to spend on an antenna. So I did it for 5 bucks in parts, that I already had in my house.

I bought a shorty from ebay for $1.00
It looked a little too fat compared to the stock one but I threw it on
anyways.
It kinda grew on me and I left it on.

i kind of want a small intenna for my T/A. I hate having the electric antenna. Wouldnt mind a small stubby antenna back there that works good

IMO, a smaller antenna makes the car look so diff., I know its hard to believe but its true, makes it look so much better

Good suggestion to try cutting. You can always try cutting and remounting the ball or go w/ r/c ball, and if it looks like crap, just spend the $30 on teh antenna
