Aftermarket Antennas

Anyone know of any aftermarket antennas that are smaller than the stock ones and are black?

Check LRS or American muscle. I believe I saw a 3 or. 4 inch on one of them.

I just cut the skinnier piece of the factory one after not liking any of the aftermarket ones. Then painted the small part that was white after the cut black.

Yeah but you live in the hood so that's acceptable

BBR!! Best one out there! I have it on mine and its awesome. Its billet and its black! Check it out.

Here's a pic from today I just found, you can kinda see it. I think it's a 4" antenna. Radio is PERFECT with it.

Nope, plus it looks OEM and still flexs if someone bumps into it walking by unlike the billet ones

My car left the dealer lot with the BBR antenna screwed in and loved it!! Unfortunately I'm back to the factory antenna It does affect radio reception but it depends what station you listen to and how far are you from it. It rendered HD radio useless for me ( BTW HD radio != XM/Sirrus just in case). I know you are getting a lot of "doesn't affect reception" message here but if you read the review comments in American Muscle/BBR/etc websites you will see that this is further from the truth. But again it depends where you live, drive and what station you listen too.

My suggestion: Buy your favorite shorty antenna and try it out for a few days and see how it affects you.

Anything OTHER than factory on the 10+ is ugly. IMO

Black billet shorty antenna from Blue Oval Industries eBay store. $39 and came with the install tool. No loss of reception that I noticed but then again I hardly listen to regular radio.

I agree the BBR one looks the nicest.
