Mine's a little larger than that.
I stuck it up above the headliner and it works like poo.

I either listen to CDs or the turbo spool, it sounds much better than crackly ass static radio.

I have one from AutoLoc or whatever the company is. Most worthless POS Ive ever purchased, glad I got on a group purchase on one of the s-series boards.

I've got.... actually used to have the Harada stick-to-the-upper-windshield electronic one and it's the most useless,worthless excuse for an antenna. I tossed it 2 weeks ago and now I find that the little stub(after unscrewing the stock whip ant.) for the stock antenna actually gets better reception than the POS HARADA...

I personally haven't done this but could you mount the stock one to the back of the grill. The way our grills are made you would never see it. Just a thought.

yeah that sounds like a good idea...i just might have the make the antenna wire longer...i mean i don't really listen to the radio too often but when i do i like it to come in good. Right now i don't have the antenna mast in the rest is just sitting under my hood...better then a hole in my fender :tup: the one that i gave the link to i might try out...1 out of 3 people said it was a POS...so it might be good and $36 shipped isn't too bad.

I have one from Dakota Digital I bought from summit... yes it has a box on the windshield, but it works about 90% as well as the stocker did. Does not like the mountains though :(

I think you can buy antenna wire extentions from Wal-Mart or for sure a sterio shop. I think they are about a foot.

Metra AntennaWorks 44-UA200. Best I've found. About 90% on FM and 75% on AM.

I have had as good or better reception on some cars I have done by hiding a mast antenna inside the dash as I have with the small box antennas. I haven't tried one inside a syty, but I would imagine it would work about as well.

i got one from advanced auto parts and it was 12 bucks IIRC and it works decent. some of the stations i lake are harder to pick up even with a regular antenna, and this think does a decent job of getting them

its a glass mount and it was well worth the 12 bucks. i can get pics if you like
