I bought a carbon fiber antenna from Rexpeed. Perfect fitment and no reception issues. Plus it looks great IMO.

Well that answers my question, so I can get any antenna I want and don't have to worry about it working with sat radio sweet

Just put the Perrin 4" on. Looks great, no signal loss on the radio. Sirrus still works perfect.

dont get the one on ebay. It has a gap and doesnt fit right and the piece of crap faded after about a month, I think it comes from Germany so that explains everything

I purchased the Perrin 4" and I love it. It looks much better and I have experienced no difference in radio reception. Great cheap mod.

Funny thing you mention that....

I got my shorty antenna a couple of months ago. I was happy to put away the long stock rc antenna Next morning after I had put it on, right as I was getting into my car to leave to work I noticed that something was off. Someone had stolen my antenna I was pissed off for the rest of the day. Who the hell would be such a cheap a$$ as to have to steal my antenna As I was leaving the apt. complex I noticed that a lancer gts that I had seen a couple of days before was in the parking lot. I was almost sure that this guy had done it....there were no other lancers/evo's in the apt. complex at all...so why would anyone else want to take it I wanted to go and give his paint a present ...but decided that it would be totally immature on my side Anyway, that afternoon i had to dig up my stocker and put it back on and had to settle into just buying a new shorty. Long story short....next morning before leaving to work...i noticed something on the ridge of my roof....someone had put my shorty back on the car! I guess the lancer guy must have figured out that the shorty wouldn't fit his car

Anyway....Sorry for the just had to get that out of my system
