You can also get cheap "inexpensive" ones at Pep Boys or some other auto parts supplier.

Mister Gadget,
what did you have to do to install it? was it just a screw it on affair? how is the radio reception afterwards? just as good? What color rings did you go with?

I got mine from Godfather Customs. Came to like $44 shipped and with the Ford Adapter.

I tried to do the chrome bolt cover thingy like Vinnie but i got horrible reception. Also, the cap started to rust within 2 days.

My radio reception sucks as is since i have the Clarion sub. So, i removed the bolt and my reception hasnt improved or decreased. Its still crappy

How is it that a sub could mess with your reception? I had 2 1,000 watt 12"s @ 2 ohms behind my seats with no problems.



here is a link someone gave me last week for antennas..

it had to do with the wiring harness for the sub, it created interference or something like that, bad grounds maybe
