93GTP Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I am going to shave the antenna on my GP and I am looking for an antenna that I can put in the trunk and still get good FM reception. Has anyone tried buying a specialty antenna for this? I was just looking at one on this site that claims to be just for this purpose: http://www.ecshylites.citymax.com/page/page/761353.htm How well would a stock solid mast antenna work for this application? Because I have one of those on my Z donor car I could use which obviously wouldn't cost me anything. The stock power antenna on my car gets about the same reception as no antenna when tossed in the trunk (but then again it had horrible reception mounted on the car as well).

I know my mom's Acura CL has an antenna in the back window internally in the glass, however it is some crazy assed design and gets just as good reception as any other cars I've been in...My dad's Tauurs gets the best reception...then probably the GMs..(96 Suburban,90 Lumina) .... If you are listening to a local station, all you really need is a piece of wire, however, any long distances, a solid steel antenna is best (Our 96 suburban has a fiber glass antenna with a wire wrapped around it - piece of shit lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
