blox short antenna installed with pics!
 

Wanted a short antenna for two reasons 1) I really didn't care for the flappy r/c car style of the oem 2) I intend to get a spoon spoiler asap :D. I purchased it from icb motorsports I believe then saw them at my local shop. I paid 15 shipped they're 16 at the shop. Anyhow they come in 3 sizes ; short as you'll see in pics. Medium basicly spoon but metal.and long a slightly shorter than oem version. I was originally headed toward the medium as I didn't want to loose signal. I don't care for the way the skinnier basee models ( spoon as an example only) sit on top of the roof mount as opposed to flush or at least covering the hardware. Anyhow the short version is 2" and flares at the bottom as the oem does. It gets even better reception than stock. My guess is because its metal. Its a dark gun metal color with the blox logo etched. It comes with a dual sided stud so you can line up the logo :D. I'm not a vendor or affiliated just happy with a product and wanted to share also the price is great I know there's a few on fleabay for cheaper but the quality of this as whell as the look of the blox is for more superior than the difference in price.

Where did u buy this at???

Looks nice.The only problem with short antennas is with the FM radio reception.Some of them only captures strong FM radio stations...:(.

I've been able to pick up more stations with the shorter antenna. The two I frequently listen to are kdvs a college radio station in davis, ca. Another is broadcast from a local high school lol. I have noticably better reception with this antenna. Its metal rather than rubber so better signal :)

Blox Performance Antenna - JHPUSA
Here's the link jhpusa.com they're good I've delt with them a few times. The last being a spoon interior mirror but this is out of stock soo on I wait. Really good service though

Purchased directly from Blox 18 bucks free shipping had it in 2 days. Huge improvement over the stock in the looks department. Haven't noticed any loss in reception on the 6 or 7 stations I normally go between.

you guys have any further away pictures, these things are nice and if it makes the stations come in better than that would b awesome

Almost off work an ill take some for you.

U are the man.

Hope that helps please forgive the dust. Tonight is our bath night :)

It looks just like one of the 3'' one's that you can get on ebay which has very poor reception...i'm just wondering if the one you have -blox- is constructed with different material to enhance the reception, if so i'm down for one.:D

The other thing that caught me eyez wuz that Ford Falcon in the background, i'd luv to get my hands on one of those as a fixer upper..:cool:

A friend of mine got one from ebay and put it on his element. He didn't like it. It was made of plastic with a aluminium sleeve over it. Parked next to each other in a parking garage I was able to listen to all the major aired stations. Syndicate radio I guess. He wasn't getting anything in the garage.

Side note : the ford in the back ground is a sacrafical ranchero :D my roomate has a 61 falcon wagon coupe. My driveway is a very serious place :rotfl:

Also mine is only 2inches. Err the antenna clearly:D

Thanx JoJo:D I'll check into that antenna, since it seems like you guyz are not willing to part the ranchero or the falcon wgn :rotfl:

Ordered mine for jhpusa with some other stuff while their free shipping 4th promo was going on.

when xonelifex asked for further away pictures, you should literally have walked about a block away lol.
