Billet Antenna? Paging bling kings

Where can I pick up one of those shorty billet antennas? I wanted to get the matching base as well to replace the factory plastic junk.

(looking in Vinnie's direction)

Stylin' Concepts has a bunch of them.

You'll need a Ford adaptor and the chrome base is from Mercury Navigator.

The part # for the chrome Base is- F85Z-18A927-AA

It costs a whopping $2.83

I got my antenna from Stlin concepts.

The one's I use. Excellent radio reception and the length of it is perfect (IMO).

Don't forget the adapter.

You got to be kidding me. 3 dollars. They want 15 for them on ebay. Is that from Lincoln Dealer?

how tall are those from the bottom of the base to the tip? I need a shorter one because it hits my garage door on the way in and out. Are they taller then the roof of the truck?

thanks

Thanks Rob, that's not the one I saw but I like it just as much. Maybe I will just have the plastic base painted body color instead of using the chrome replacement.

I was looking for a windshield with the invisable antenna formed into the glass..but have not had any luck. I would think someone would make an aftermarket strip that you could adhere to the stock windshield....now that would be nice.
