  • Antennas are in!

    Done! The antennas are anodized, in, and stocked! Threw one on my car for the ride home and got a feel for the reception characteristics. 95.5 comes in crispy, 93.1 and 96.3 are strong, 101.1 can be a little fussy, and 88.7 is a tad on the weak side, but I blame their signal for that.

    Those of you who are interested I'll have them available out on Woodward this weekend, otherwise hit up my website and I can get one shipped out to you. Prices are $25 shipped via my website, or the super-special MIFBody only price of $20 out on Woodward Friday night. Thanks, and enjoy the pictures (no SLR today, rocking the girlfriend's point&shoot)!





    I'll get some pictures of the final product on the "test vehicle" once it isn't disgustingly dirty.

    Got one of those off a guy on LS1Tech, love the look of it but the reception is definitely lacking IMHO. Thinking about switching back to the factory one because it really becomes annoying after awhile.

        I'm pretty sure these are different because Tim makes them himself.

          Yeah, 95.5 is flaky at times and they are relatively close to me. 88.7 hardly comes in. 101.1 I gave up on. 97.9 & 96.3 have their moments. I didn't have these issues with my stock antenna, think I'm goin' back to it.

            I'm pretty sure they are different but they are the same basic design. After trying a shorter antenna myself, I appreciate the lack of problems that I encountered with the stock one.

                They look really good, just hope the reception isn't as big of a deal as it sounds like they might be...

                      I'll be out at Woodward, I'll have one waiting just for you.

                      The reception isn't compromised nearly as much as you're probably thinking. I'm assuming you have the BitViper antenna? That guy has sold those things like crazy.

                      I'll have a stock of them at the M&G, as many as I have left or I may make another order before then.

                        More teasers for you guys since I finally got around to washing and waxing the sixxer.





                        I'll be out at Auto Europe tonight around 8:00 with a stock of them.

                          How about a farther away shot? Kinda hard to put into perspective, maybe get the whole car in the shot?
