Do you live in a metropolitan area or rural? Did you notice any degradation of radio signal?
I don’t listen to terrestrial radio, so can’t give you a reasonable answer. It looks cool, though. :)

I bought this one off of Amazon and I am very happy with it. It was under 30.00 It is shorter than stock, comes in black and has the same design as OEM. No matter which shorter size you go with you will have some signal loss, but from my limited experience it is mainly with AM reception. I tuned in a weak AM station with my OEM antenna and then put on the new shorter one. I still got the station but the volume level was a little less, so just a little worse reception. It seems to have very little if any effect on FM and of course NO affect on Satellite since that uses a separate antenna.
