Default BitVipers antenna

I just want to in form you guy and girls that are really tried of looking at the big radio contorl antenna that GM outfitted on our cars. After months of searching a member of the forums makes stubby antenna for the f-Bodies.

I just want to post this to congraulate him on the desgin of the antenna. The overall looks and styling.

Benifits to me. One don't have to look at the stock R/C looks antenna anymore. Secondly I would always have to take my antenna mast off to put my car over on my car, I don't have to remove Bitviper antenna due to the size. The antenna fit nicely under the car cover without any problems. Third benifit is that it really goes with the theme off my car. I have not came to any down sides yet execpt that I am worried that someone will take it.

Aaron also said he would like to make the bases from a different material like carbon fiber or paint the bases to match the color of your ride. Please give him feed back on that.

Also he is a very infromative person on the side of e-mailing when he got my money. When the parts were shipped via who when and how and almost had it down to the day it would be at my house. A very good seller to buy from over all completly satisfied with all angles.

Here are some PICS of the antenna on my car.





Just to throw in a little something at the end I also installed the same antenna on a 2002 GMC Sonoma as well. Looks the same bad ***

Well I am sure that the price of your powered coated billet antenna was a lot more costly than bitvipers. PLus I would like something that right out of the box I could put on, and nbot go though the hassle of having to ship here and take here to have a the end product.

I am glad to hear that everyone else is happy with the antenna in the long run. I hope I have the same postive side that you other guys have had with the antenna.

You might want to send a PM to Bitviper to find out a price. Shipped to your door.

To everyone of you that is againt this post or is in some wondereing mind. The only real reason I did this is that I was not aware of Bitvipers antenna until I saw someone post a thread about it. For his efforts to make sure everything was going well in the purchase I did the courtesy thing and returned the favor for him.
Also to get a website wide compliment to Bitviper. That is why the post was made.

Do your thing RsSean, nothing wrong with being happy about a new mod (especially when it's from one of our own!!)

Well, I just put my p.antenna on a manual switch and since I almost always listen to cd's or MP3, it's never up anyway. Keeps the car original and doesn't wear out going up and down everytime you switch the ignition. Good idea for guys who listen to the radio though I guess.
