So, what the f**k. Im not buying another of these mofo's. So, i washing my car on a nice warm breezy day. I notice my new freaking antenna was dirty from the rain. So, i took my damp towel and gently rubbed down the antenna (no homo) Next thing i know the freaking thing is in 2 pieces in my hand. So, im just going to email American muscle a picture to see if they will send another lol. Its what.. 2 weeks old? Either this thing is made of cheap metal or i got a bad one :crybaby2:

Also, if you guys buy one. Get the 14 inch. The 8inch small one looks so out of place.

I went from stock to a 14". Then from that to a 8". Now from that to a 4". I live in a dead spot, so not much that I like comes in. It still picks up what it did, but man it looks sweet. I'll take pics tomorrow, I hope.

I just shortened the OEM antenna on both my GT's so it is even with the roof

Couple minutes with a vice and dremel plus a fresh coat of paint to make things all pretty
