WHich one did you buy, how do you like it, and how much was it... I NEVER use my FM antenna (spoiled by Sat radio), and want to get a shorty that atleast works if I ever need to tune in something locally.

Significantly shorter (ie the name) and better looking than the stock one, and reception is great. Google "shorty antenna", there's are plenty of choices, but mine is 14 inch antenna silver $17.99 inc shipping from shortyantennasource.com

In hindsight I should have gone with the 8" shorty, not 14" for looks and less interference with my huge 8" KCs on the windshield brackets. The antenna screw-in post is directly below the front of lights, and an 8" antenna wouldn't hit the lights - I was unsure if reception using an 8" antenna would be decent - so I'd also like to hear the answer....
