Go to a junk yeard and find one off another GM. Cut that puppy to whatever length you want and then just reattach that little ball thingy to the top of it again.

the ebay antennas are so cheap though. I cut my stock one at first but didn't cut it as much as I should have and the ball was kind of a PITA to put on so I just went and bought one from ebay for like $12.

I'd go with the BitViper but there are so many f-bodys in my area (not on LS1tech though) and I'm worried that it wouldn't last a week before it got stolen off my car.
I think I'm going to go with the cheapo one off of eBay.
Thanks Guys.

I got it in the mail and on the car yesterday (8" off eBay). Cost me $12 shipped. The reception is good (a little static on the stations from far away). That was one of the cheapest mods that make the car look a lot younger, those big antennas are a thing of the past now.

Sounds like the 18"... 4 inches taller than mine now would still be shy of the top. JMO.

Shorty Antenna the easy ans cheap way.
Take antenna cut down to desited length. go to Ace hardware and get a rubber cap to cover the cut end.
Finished
Cost $.05
Looks as good as the expensive ones.
