I like to listen to my music when i drive. I was thinking of maybe having the antenna inside the car. i.e Corvette. Than take out the stock antenna and somehow fill up the hole that's left.

My '94 has the non-power antenna. You could put in the fixed antenna, and then unscrew the rod. Buy a shorter version from radio shack that has the same thread diameter of the fixed rod. I plan to do that to my '02.

How much difference with your reception on the shorter ones? My factory antenna is pretty crappy around town (compared to my colorado, tahoe, and even my 86 scottsdale got better reception)

This is what I have on my Z in black. It is a very nice piece and I think that it looks very good.

i would trade my stock Camaro antenna and base for a TA power one if anyone wants. I have over 3000+ posts on www.cz28.com and a good rep. so you don't have to worry about trading with me.
