      pics of custom antenna

      I was reading some forums about VW owners stealing the EP antenna, so i made mine look like a VW antenna. Plus that little stub didnt get that good of reception, this one works better and my stations are more clear. Its a GM truck antenna but i sawed it in half, and added a cap to the end. I also had a great old time attaching it to the EP because domestic antennas are reversed. I had to make a stud that was 8mm on one side and 1/4 on the other. . .

      anyway heres pix

      Here's what I would do:

      Since you're not gonna be using your stock antenna, why worry about it getting stolen?

      I would use your stock antenna, if someone steals it, put on the GM one.

      There are other alternatives, such as glueing it.

      the antenna is approx the same length of an IS300 antenna. And i do listen to a lot of CD's but if a good song is on FM I like to bump it. The higher the quality signal to the amps the more efficently they reproduce it. The stub just was'nt cutting it
