Autozone sells a short version of the stock antennae.

I also made one out of the stock one.

the camaros didn't get the power antenna, only the birds. But I do agree, and I would have kept that, but mine was stuck in the "up" position when I bought the car, so that had to go...

I don't get the greatest reception but I don't listen to the radio that much either. No big deal as far as I'm concerned.

I read what 98 WS6 said, and I immediately went out and did mine. The ball wouldn't fit back on it since the base is a little fatter than the tip, so I just did what Sparky did and hung it upside down while I painted it. I love the way it looks, and the only difference I noticed is when I drove behind our local Publix, 94.1 faded out lol. Thanks for the thread, guys!
