The only reason I got mine was simply for appearance. I never use the radio but I did test it and it didn't really seem to degrade reception.

just too many ricers have those antennas out here. One of my friends is a machinist and made some anoddized antenna caps that look sick, i'll try to find his thread for you. It looks much better.

Agreed.

Im not a fan of the bitviper antenna nor the massive stock trucker cb radio antenna. This guy has one on his z28 around here and it looks like a limp wee wee (hahahaha). To thick in my opinion but if you like thats all that matters.

Best looking IMO are the transam retractable antennas and the 14" z06 antenna looks really clean.

Its amazing how much an antenna can add/change the appearance of your car.

I had one of thoe on my old mustang, they sell them at oreilies for $6.99. I took it off because at high speeds it bent and looked goofy.
