shaved antenna

[SilviaDriver]

when ppl shave their antenna, yea i know its for to look clean, but..how do u listen to the radio?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> i mean for ppl like me..if i shave the antenna..how do u pick up reception? i have no deck..i have a stock deck..and barely any CDs..so if they shave it..how do they listen to the radio? a inside antenna?

i've wondered the same thing. also, why do people get the lights on the hood that replace the windshield squirters? i've seen brand new cars have them &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/butbut.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':but:'>

The windshield squirters are dumb as hell. &nbsp;However the antenna deals are cool. &nbsp;No wind resistance for the antenna if it's not there. &nbsp;Remember the late 70's Chevy fullsizes had antennas built into the windshield, and they got good reception.

I am gonna shave mine when i get the body work done &nbsp;i didnt have a power one anyways and the one on it was so high it looked like a radio contolled car. &nbsp;Plus i dont listen to the radio anyways not since i got a computer with a burner. &nbsp;I want to check out that satelite(sp) radio my friend had it in his car and it is crystal clear, but I dont know much about it though.

I'm not too big o the whole shaving thing...These two clowns that live somewhere in Indianapolis are into it though. &nbsp;One has a cavalier, and the other, a sunfire. &nbsp;Both car's have completely clean backend, no lights, no emblems..only a liscense plate. &nbsp;The brake lights are just sitting up on the rear deck of the car. &nbsp;Not to mention..the back ends of both of their cars are primered...whereas the fronts are factory paint. &nbsp;No wings, cans or air dams for these guys..just a shaved, primered backends.

Why we are on the subject of antennas...can you replace the stock antenna with a bmw antenna? &nbsp;I know it would take some work, but I hate the look of this long ass piece of metal sticking out the backend of my car. &nbsp;The bmw antenna (off of a 3-series more than likely) is just what I want...short, black, and hardly noticeable. &nbsp;I have a 97 240 by the way.

I'm going to shave mine, but only cause it doesn't work anyway and I have an MP3 deck. However, in my sister's hatch we're gonna shave it and install a FUBA (or whatever) antenna on the rear windshield.

[MasterOFDrift]

oh ow those hidden attenas are really expensive anybody know where you can get it cheaper? I am going to shave my antenna off to or get a new one that is not as long and works. My antenna right now is a power one and the mast is stuck or something and it doesn't go down anymore. It is very frustrating cause Whenever I drive decently fast I can hear the anteena swing around outside. It is soo long makes my car look kinda odd.
