Chopped & Dropped
well my antenna anyway! just got finished chopping it down! followed that how to: on the site! chopped it down to 8 inches and reception is good!! all the 6 presets work good except country 101.9 but i'm also 50 mins away from the city and it's only a bit staticky! lol i know that isn't even a word lol oh well... might be were the car is sittin in my yard i donno cause "the beat" and "the bounce" come in crystal clear and there both in the city as well! but anyways i'm really happy with the outcome and love the new look of my "shorty" antenna... and it only cost me 5 bux for the caps lol!

the ARK one would probably cost close to $50 by the time it came to nova scotia canada after shipping and whatnot... i found the caps at canadian tire in the "help" section, it was like $3 for the variety pack, u need the 1/8 one for the top of the antenna

i looked at autozone, which im assuming is the same thing as canadian tire, US boy here... they didnt have anything like that, but yea i cut mine the first week i have my car, i think mine is 10". stations still work great, but i use XM more than anything so it doesnt matter too much to me.
