s13 coupe: thoughts on non-visible antennas

[DALAZ_68]

so a couple of weeks ago due to a drunken moment, a buddy of mine bent/twisted/ (eventually broke off while driving the top section) my stock antenna (obviously it doesnt go down)

ive been thinking since then replacing it with a stubby antenna as i know some have,

but then i got to thinking, why not one of those non visible antennas that go unde the dash or somewhere that u can see it...since im planning on re painting the car sometime in the future, i can plug the hole nicely and paint over it...

ive always liked the look of a car not having a long piece of metal sticking out, and i personally think it gives the car a cleaner look.


since i havent seen anyone locally have this done, im just wondering if anyone on the forums has an internal antenna, were its mounted, how they mounted, cost, reception, and if its worth the trouble.

any input on this would be greatly appreciated,

to answer some questions

1. No, i dont wanna just take off my antenna and put one of those black plugs, shits gay IMO and my car is most likely cleaner looking than urs so GTFO.

2. Yes, i do have an ipod and listen to it fequently, but i like the option of having my radio work when my pod dies/ i forget to charge it.

3. Yes im looking for a name brand type of internal antenna, not egay shit.

4. Yes if u want to ask a question about these antennas in this thread please do, its better than opening up a new one.

5. No, im not looking for one of the units that has to be stuck to the side of the front/rear windshield, theres a reason why the title thread says non-visible.


thank you for you help
