Hello all,

I searched for my question before posting, but did not find the info I was looking for.

We have a 2012 5.0 GT that we special ordered early last year. We've done a few small mods to it, such as striping, tint, and coil covers, and are ready to do something new to it for 2012.

I am looking at the Billet Shorty Antenna from American Muscle:

Antenna: http://www.americanmuscle.com/4in-sh...enna-1012.html

Install tool: http://www.americanmuscle.com/t67-antenna-tool.html

I have zero experience installing something like this, and the fact that a special tool is recommended makes me even more apprehensive.

Has anyone installed one of these on a 2010 - 2012 Stang? If so, can you share your experience, and hopefully pictures or videos of the install process?

I would like to perform this mod, but I do not want to do anything to mess up our Mustang.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

 

So you are only sticking to the billet one? What about black...if so check out JLT!

 

I am open to suggestions. Have a link?

 

I went with this one from BBR: http://www.blowbyracing.com/20mubbrbian.html

Note it comes in black or billet aluminum.
Unscrew OEM, screw in the new one. Can use a cheap rubber strap wrench from hardware store on antenna base to avoid scratches.

 

I love the BBR shorty... best <$40 mod

Easy unscrew and screw on. Good in that it's simple installation, but bad because anyone can take it off.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I was looking at this one too from UPR Products too for $37: http://www.uprproducts.com/mustang-b...-10-black.html

And I figured I would throw these valve stem caps in for good measure: $14.99 http://www.americanmuscle.com/valve-stemcap-50.html

 

In the end I decided to go with the billet stubby from American Muscle. I had also posted this question over on All Ford Mustangs and a rep from American Muscle actually replied directly to my post. They assured me installation was easy, and provided a phone number for me to call if I had any issues. That level of customer service helped me make my decision, so thank you to Chris from American Muscle.
