Default Shorty antenna?

Which one is best? Thinking of going with a 8" or 12". Not worried about radio reception- nothing good on the radio to be concerned about missing IMHO.

I want one that looks factory, and doesn't require modifications. And, I want it black.

Any recommendations?

If you look at "customer images", you'll notice a white Saleen..............

The 14" one does look pretty nice and lines up with the roof line very well. After seeing it on someone else's car....it made me realize just how tall my antenna is.

I believe when I got mine the ad ran " Tired of your Mastodon mustang stock antenna yet? " I thought that was a right on observation, Erik

I took my factory one and cut in in half, took the grinder to it and re-installed the ball... Problem solved and it was free.
