Power antenna on a Camaro Strange how even the most expensive version of the Camaro still comes with a POS radio antenna. Does the Pontiac power antenna fit right in on these Camaros? How much do they cost?

Re: Power antenna on a Camaro I did this mod to my SS, but I didnt want the boring factory look, so I got a RKSport chrome one. It was only $99 and it works great. I chose chrome because I wanted it to stand out a little more and Ive got a chrome scheme going. On the 35th, I wouldnt go with the chrome just because there isnt any chrome. I would just stick with the OEM or get a RKSport black one. I wired up mine to go up and down when the radio goes on and off.

Re: Power antenna on a Camaro Sorta on topic...
Wanna know why 4th Gen Camaros never had power antennas?
Because they were the #1 warranty claim on Firebirds. They didn't want the problems/expense associated.
Got this info straight from the horse's mouth, so it's true

Re: Power antenna on a Camaro No, its because Camaros are viewed as the "cheap" version of the F-body. Based on my experience with both cars, the Pontiacs are much nicer in/out.

I got the antenna w/ wiring harness from GMpartsdirect for $100 shipped...got the p/n's from blackcamaro.com. I'm glad I got the harness cause if the antenna ever has to be replaced, the wiring can just be unhooked, and easily swapped for a replacement.
jeez that looks like way too much jacking around to install the power antenna... I thought I read somewhere once that the Camaros had the power plug right there for the retractable antenna... I guess not.
Love my power antenna as well. The bracket that it comes with isnt long enough.. not sure if the verts are different from the coupes.. but I had to custom make a bracket. No biggie tho.
