antennas...whos got em and who doesnt?

[mshred]

Just wondering who has antennas or who has removed them and had that area filled in on their cars....

[MoPar_or _NoCar]

I bought a whole car once for mine. Radio comes in a lot better with it.

[Jim_Lusk]

I'm considering some kind of hidden antenna for my Barracuda. Being a convertible gives me more options that will work. I haven't really decided what to use, though. Crutchfield has something, but the reviews were mixed.

[Duster440]

Shaved mine. Spent a lot of time researching remote antennas with the results Jim mentioned. I bought the one below which requires no external power. I mounted it in the trunk and it works perfectly. I got the TT2C and painted it black.

I have a loose stock antenna that I need to fix. My "Dart Solid State Radio" gets great AM and FM reception and the Ipod comes in just fine.

I bought a universal power antenna from a surplus store.  It came in a carquest package.  I mounted it in the stock location and it fits right in behind the fender splash panel.  I modified the stock castelated nut and used the rest of the hardware from the kit and it looks factory.   I wanted something that would fully retract so I could use my car cover in the garage.

I was thinking of hiding one above the headliner, but it is probably wize to see if it actually works that way.

Remote power antenna installed by the bodyshop that did the paint and bodywork . Don't know yet if it works well or not. Willie

 No antennie on the Valiant, radio delete! I-pod run direct into amp with 6x9s rocks and looks sooo stock.

Yeah, I have a stock dash speaker, reworked stock radio, and installed rear speakers in facotry mounting... it looks great and 100% stock.

Theoretically that should about the worst place for it, but you never know what will work where you live and drive.

Years ago I used one of those ones with the tape that sticks to the inside of your windshield.  It actually worked pretty good and was mostly unseen.  Think I got it at Radio Shack?

[Prodart]

[Dart67]

I have a fit all Power Antenna on my Car.

What antenna?

Using a factory antenna pkg with a kenwood am-fm cassette head unit.

Well i just finished filling in the hole where my antenna goes now, so its too late to keep it even if i wanted to...i like how it looks though without it because it gives the car a cleaner, smoother look, plus i never listen to the radio, just cd's....now i have to figure out where im going to put a CD deck

Glovebox with a remote.

antenna? radio?.. no place for speakers.. could't hear it if i had one.. don't get me wrong, i like music. but i like the sound of a hot rod better..

[451 valiant]

Got rid of mine too.

Plenty for speakers. I find I generally leave the radio off, but it looks bone stock. I'm glad I switched speakers cause the new one will be so much easier to get out of the dash if ever need be. (old one was HUGE) I find I can hear mine over the 340 and I like having that option, it does get tough on the hot days with all 4 windows down, the vents open, the fresh air doors wide and the 340 revving (as much as it does...) in a pass.

put the radio in the glove box and stash a cd changer in the trunk, or you can do what i do and make a custom center console under the dash to house the deck.

my dart has an anntena right now, but will be shaved when i do the body work. i dont listen to the radio either, only cds or my mp3 player

[CARR68]

no need for an antenna without a radio, May put in a cd player with mp3 connect.

I'm sorry, call me a tight-wad if you like, but I have a hard time paying $129 for a $10-$15 antenna. I've purchased and modified 2 aftermarket antennas. With a bit of enginuity you can get teh Pep Boys or Auzto Zone universal brands to fit and work just fine. In both cases I modified the antennas' mounting pivot that butts against the underside of the fender by extending it. One I could weld the other was pot metal and I riveted extensions onto it. The first was a normal upright antenna that interfered with teh car cover. Note - no car covers were made that have a antenna mast provision. After bending that antenna, I got a retractable one that collapses down into the fender (non-electric) and allows my cover to go on and off without tearing up the cover or the antenna.
  Another option is to have the/a body shop fill the hole in so you CAN use a normal/generic antenna (1" base) instead of the OEM type (1 1/4" base). I told my body shop to do that, but they said they found a antenna that worked...  WRONG! That's why I had to fugure it out myself. Of course, my radio died so I don't get much use of it anymore. *sigh*
