13" Antenna

Yeah I cut mine too, no sense paying for a free mod.
Just take the antenna off, use the pry end of a hammer and put it against the ball at the top of the antenna (its just pressure fitted). Then with another hammer whack the pry hammer and off comes the ball. Cut to the length you want and file the end to a slight taper. Whack the ball back on and re attatch the antenna.
Takes about 5 minutes at the most.

cut the antenna exactly in half. that way you arent screwing up the tuning THAT bad

I'm running a 7" ant with no problems.

bah the radio is overrated when youve got an mp3 player.. i think im gunna hack mine down tomorrow

si i just cut it to how long i want it and it still fits or doi have to changs things

theres a few companies that make shorter antennas, do a search "shorty antenna"

Just cut it so its about even with your roof line and bolt it back on, easy stuff.

I just bought a shorty one...not very expensive, and you can still keep the old one in the event you ever want to get back that lost radio reception. I lost about 25% by switching over to this one...but I like the look a lot better.

thank you! the pic was from the nashville mustang 40th last year...

Thats what its all about!

Just hacked mine yesterday .. can't even tell its not factory, I went 15" since I wasn't sure about the reception but it looks a lot nicer and I still have perfect reception.. I'd REALLY like to go 8" but then I'm quite sure it'd kill any reception at all..

when I get this beast painted in the distant future I'll have it shaved and do a hidden one

just dont rush putting the ball tip back on.. i could pop it back on so i super glued it?

98stangv8, sweet car about how tall is it now? I'll probably order the 8" from mustangtuning in a week or so when I get my bumper inserts, saves on shipping
