new antenna for roadster pics

John Bradley · 12-02-2009, 08:39 PM

So I ordered this short 3" antenna to replace the NASA 12 foor antenna Nissan put on the car...
It is carbon fiber, but its hard to see that in the pics..
What do yall think ?? I have a longer one on the way.
This ones maybe alittle too small ???

It was 12.95 and it came from

Looks about perfect to me.

How is the reception with the shorter antenna?

That's perfect! That was the only thing bugging me on the roadster. Nice find John!

Yes, it's a 2 in 1.

My two concerns with replacing the stock antenna would be 1) reception and 2) the base matching the body color.

This one seems to do both well!

It looks great in person...I will try to get some pics in the day light ..

Did you say you had another longer one coming? Where are you getting that one from?

kdo2milger · 12-10-2009, 11:38 PM
