I went with the 14" and it looks like the perfect size. Works great too.

I have the 14". It goes up to about the height of the car's roof, and looks good.I think the 8" is too small, personally.

14" matches the roofline.

14"

The 14" matches the roofline. Now that I have my 14", the 8" looks like it would be too short.

Bleh.. the 8 looks like a short stub. The 14" at least looks like a sleak antenna.

ok thx for the input fellaz... and even though more people voted for 8... out of the people who spoke more chose the 14" for the same reason im leaning towards it... so therefore i'll go with the 14"

I got the 14" since I've heard people having reception problems with the 8". Mine works great.

I have the 14in and it is the perfect size it looks tiny compared to the stock one looks great I agree with others about the 8 looking too small

I turns out that I have the 6 inch antennae.. not the 4 inch.
Must have been cold outside the first time i looked.. ;)

I went with 14" to match the roof line. To me, the 8" is just to stubby and makes it even more noticeable.

I bought the 8" for my ride.
It's been on the car for a couple months now and it doesn't pull the stations in as well as the stock antenna.
It might work fine for those who live in or near a major metropolitan area where the signal is strong no matter what you use.
But, I live in a rural area where the radio stations are more spread out.
I am thinking of trying the 14" to see if it works any better for me.
My 2 cents.
