Antenna Delete?

[dieselac]

Anyone know of one? I know they have that plate for the fox body but I havent had any luck finding something for the 99-04. I dont want a shorty. I would like to just have a something that will sit close to or flush with the car and still be functional.

The second you loose your antenna, the second the radio reception goes to crap. I just have the base of a shorty antenna. Accidently hit it and broke it clean off. Took some touch up paint and painted over the exposed bit. Its black, so is my car, only stands about 2" high from the fender. I don't use the radio, so it wasn't an issue for me.

you can try to find the antenna delete used on the 2000 cobra R or a 'replica'

they do exist. but theyre not exactly easy to find


P.S. you cant have both no antenna and radio reception. it just doesnt work that way in our cars.

Even the shorty will hurt reception just a bit. I had my antenna broke off once and there was virtually no reception of anything.

Just cut the stock antenna, its simple. All you have to do is pull off the little ball on the end of the antenna, cut it to whatever length you want the antenna and put the ball back on. Easy and free. IMO the best height for the antenna is when you cut it right at the roof line.

I pulled my antenna off and put a metal screw in place were it threads in. So I had no atenna entirely. I just use the CD player.

2000 Cobra R delete plate


Or run a stubby antenna from American Muscle

I have Sat radio..so i never listen to AM. I just unscrewed my antenna. Less wind resistance!

 

[SaleenGT2001]

they make an antenna delete fro an explorer that will work on our cars. just ask Randy Snitchcomb on mustangforums.com they run about $10

The only way to do an antenna delete is to actually weld the hole up and repait it. Anything esle is cheezy and ghetto. Just get a short billet one if you dont want to do it right.

2000 Cobra R is ghetto. ha. you make me laugh

 

[blubullett]

He doesnt own a cobra R so; plastic plate on your fender= ghetto! Cheese supreme!! Smooth shiny metal= pimp status. I like shiny things

 

[dieselac]

sounds good, i gotta be honest i....i really dont care about reception either, just thought it would be nice.

I had an R plate on my last GT, but it's just so ugly. I ended up shaving the hole.

 

[Drew0318]

I just have the antenna removed. I don't care all that much. It's out because the cover doesn't work worth a damn with it on.


Well, that, and my friend (previous owner) can't find it.

I don't listen to the radio/CD when I'm driving anyway.

That's what I did!

I just cut the one on my old GT, left it only about 5 or so inches high. Didn't even put the little ball back in, shaved the edges of the tip so they were smooth and rounded, and colored in the silver parts with a black perm marker. Looked clean, free, and didn't lose really any Radio reception.
