Shaved Antenna

[DaddyO]

Where did any of you guys mount your antenna for the best reception after you shaved it? I'm puzzled as to where to put it.

what kind of antanna do you have??

Because i have the metal one that retracts i made sure it retraced all the way and just removed the motor that makes it move, I still get good recepsion, i have seen/ heard some guy reroting it to the roof to have it come on like a shark fin in the middle just above the rear window.

That's what I was wondering. I still have the stock retractable one too. I didn't know if it would still get good reception hidden in the trunk somewhere. I would like to find an XM type antenna, but I don't think the make one that plugs in to the regular am/fm plug on the radio.

heres the site im getting my antenna from, all you do is remove the old antenna and wire the cables to this new antenna.

i don't even have a radio anymore. I was just going to rock a head unit with my Ipod as a souce for music.

You can also get one that sticks one your windscreen. I did that before.

Yeah this always makes me smile. I've seen a couple guys that have the radio delete plate and gauges in there. Then they have a 4 channel amp and just run the ipod as the signal thru it. The only problem is the remote turn on wire.

Now that's an idea that hadn't crossed my mind. I hardly even listen to radio stations anyway. The remote wire should be an easy fix. Thanks guys. I may just do that.

After I shaved my shit I just relocated it to the roof. Of course u gotta drill a hole in the roof and whatnot but thats what I did. Here go a pic of it...

I just ordered a roof antenna (an Audi one I think) off Ebay. It was too long for my taste so I bought a shorter shaft and unscrewed the long one and put the shorter one on. When I installed it I just ran the wire along the ceiling and down the plastic thing along side the back window and then into the trunk where the antenna plugs up.

That's freakin' awesome man. Thanks for tip. I'll probably try that.
