My !antenna mod and the aftermath of being "Bitten" Alright I just got my stubby antenna in the mail today and luckily I had given the car a nice wash-n-wax yesterday.
You can see here my lame attempt at covering up the removed antenna. That's electrical tape right there to cover up the silver metal.
Now here we go with the new BitViper antenna mod and it's much better looking.
Just a nice angle as I teetered on a ladder
Close-up.
$30 for something as simple as this seems like just a little much, but when I was trying to find shorter ones at auto stores, they were crap and about $20. There's always the free 'cut the mast' but I don't think it looks that much better. I like this because it matches the attachment point very well as you can see in the close up.
So for me it's ~$30 well spent because I've got the look I wanted!
If you want other angles in the pictures let me know and I'll go snap more.
If you're interested in getting one, click on the blue link in BitViper's sig when he posts.
