Stubby Antenna question

[diabolique]

Hi People,

I almost always listen to my CD player so I was thinking about switching my antenna to a stubby one for cosmetic reasons but I have a few questions first.

How do you switch out the antenna to a stubby one? Is it easy?

What is a good length for shortness? IQ has some that are 2 inches long.

Any bad experiences with this? Can you recommend a good one to go with (I am going to get it off of Ebay)

Thanks!

The stock antenna unscrews easily, not much to it. People have said that the reception with stubby antennas is really crappy.

I swapped out for a Honda S2000 antenna which is shorter than stock with no problems...Reception is perfect

my stubby one seems ok but i don't listen to the radio all that often. mine is about 2"

awsome i need something shorter but still cool looking, that stubby aluminum one had fuzzy reception no matter if the station was 200 miles away or 200 feet away. can you post a pic ?

I got the JOM Aluminum Antenna Mast from ECStuning. Works great, looks nice. Not "stubbby" per se, but MUCH shorter than stock (1/3-1/4 the size) and quite aesthetically pleasing.

My reception is not too bad either. Little static in some areas but overall good. 2" length.

The JOM antenna looks HAWT in person...

The reception is surprisingly not that bad.
