im bored...does this sound like it may work?

[98Z]

what if i cut my long stinkin antenna down to about half length and just glue on my little ball to that? will i still have good radio reception or do you think that would mess it up and im better off buying a shorter antenna to begin with?

check out ls1tech and search for the s2000 antenna mod, there is a guy on there that sells them, they look very good.

or u can do a power antenna swap

just letting you all know that i chopped it off...i cut it about half way down and then i cut off the ball from the top and just super glued it to the new part...and my reception did not change at all. it is just as good as it was before, static free. So if anyone else cares to try go for it, i just used a dremel.

Cool I'm gonna try that out. Worste thing that can happen is you go buy a short attenna.

[98Z]

ya go for it..that was my idea too..if it didnt work, go buy a new one anyways..whats to lose you want a short one anyhow. And as of so far i have not had a problem with the antenna or my radio.

Yah thats what my buddy did on his car just cut it off and glues the ball back to the tyop and his reception works great still. I need to do it to my car too to get rid of that long stock antenna that sticks up entirely too high.

[Trey]

How low down did you cut it? do you have like 12" left or less/more?

Rubber shorty antenna from autozone for 10 dollars FTW!

[Trey]

Ya but this is 'cutom' and what the eff does FTW mean?

[98Z]

i cut it exactly half way down whatever length that may be
