Shorty Antenna
I chopped my stock one on half. Couldn't get the ball off to put back so I dipped the end of the antenna in some enamel paint to cover the scratch marks. Came out fine, looks much better IMO.
My dad thinks I was nuts cutting it - "makes your radio not work so well" - but I hardly use the radio and reception didn't noticeably change anyway.

I bought the stubby antenna for my car from Afterthoughts Auto but it didn't fit my LT1 (put it on my silverado).
My 93 has a thicker dia. threaded mast. Anybody have the same problem, find one that fits?
I know Bitviper's is wound in the base to keep reception, which is what I would want, but I don't think he makes two diameters. The one my truck inherited lost reception!

Thats the one I have. Also my friend cut his down then put the ball back ontop.
BitVipers are terrible man, my friend used to have one and all of us laughed at his bitviper because it looked like a limp d*ck. Its way to thick and attracts to much attention to the antenna, when all you want is stock looking subtle one. My buddy immediately agreed with our point of view, took it off then he cut down his old one.

i wouldn't worry about someones opinions when its compared to a dick. sounds more like a guilty pleasure of theirs.

I got my BitViper last week & communicated to BitViper that it would be installed on my LSX Miata (me understanding that a retrofit would be required). BitViper's communication was excellent & shipping fast. It installed easier than I thought. Just a little base tweaking (since it's a GM design) & she fit & looks great. Did not lose a bit of reception either. Thanks BitViper.

A LSx based miata's gotta be a kick in the A$$ to drive
Here's mine on my brother's Cobalt. For whatever reason I don't have one of it on my car...

Well all I can say I have purscahsed several antennas from him for all of my cars. I love it. Adn the best part it was cheap. Shoot him a PM and get one. You will never look back.
