I got mine from afterthoughtsauto, they call it the z06 shorty antenna I believe. It is 10x better than stock appearancewise but the reception is garbage with it.

Just cut it yourself or get the one from BitViper. Cutting it takes 5 minutes with a hack saw. Yes, the ball on the end does detatch, and can be reattatched. PM me for a the write up.

For the people with Camaros, why don’t you just use a power antenna from Trans am. This way you still have great reception and look’s great when it is down.
Just an idea….
