Shorty Antenna
#1
I finally got my shorty antenna in the mail. I bought it off ebay from Jhongs. They are a universal antenna, but the radio reception I'm getting is just as good as with my full antenna, and I live in the boons. It came to 15$ US after shipping, when all was said and done. Pretty decent.

Nice.

On a sidenote, that doesn't look like the boonies in the background. Looks like some preppy suburb with lots of trees. :lol:

Hrm, that does look appealing (I hate the stock antenna, I keep getting it caught on the hose at the coin-op carwash :( ) How long did it take your order to arrive?

It took about 1 week to come in, which isn't that bad. If you do a search on ebay for Ford Focus shorty antennas, a bunch show up. The Jhongs guy has a lot of variety, and they're cheap. Bonus: I didn't have to pay any border fees, so the price was the price.

Yeah I've seen his listing before. I just can't decide whether I want to do black like you did or go for a brushed aluminum shorty (My car has all sorts of aluminum accenting on it both on the outside and on the inside ;))

Why would you want a stump when you can have the full monty?

It's an art I tell ya.

And the antenna looks pretty good! I'm surprised you still have any reception whatsoever!

You keep believing what your women are lying to you about your wand.

In this case, Big is better.

I have the same one, my FC antenna got stolen over the summer and they are out of business so I purchased the same one off eBay. Reception is great and I like the new antenna better!

Those colored antennas look funny since the base is black.. it ends up just looking mismatched and unfinished.
