Anyway, it's not on my 'to do' list. As others have stated, it might look better if you posted a full vehicle pic, but it just looks out of place in the pic you posted. Good part is it doesn't really matter what I think, or anyone else except you - but it doesn't make us lemmings.
Geez, this is getting flat out of hand!! All I meant was that we all don't have to agree all the time ---- take a deep breath here guys! Let's just go back to not liking the antenna? OK?

This thread has been very interesting to say the least. While I thought quite a few answers were a little harsh and over the top, I must admit that they did make me laugh tho. I know it's the "it" thing to say, but I'm still trying to figure out how a particular antenna looks gay. I don't know about yours, but my antenna has never tried to play 'butt buddies' with me. Well except that time I was drunk and decided to dance on the roof of my truck and almost slipped, but hey, my antenna was just asking for it that night!

I personally don't favor the Sterling's antenna but I am glad he likes it and that's all that matters to me. I think the way he posted his thread title (as if he KNEW that everyone would love his mod) kind of subconscioulsy turned some people against him/his mod.

If the Sirious antenna can be as small and inconspicous as it is, I don't understand why a lot of people were defending the huge, ugly (IMO) stock piece of equipment that Ford puts on and that takes away from the looks of our trucks. I think that the smaller and more out of site an antenna can be, then the better. I do like that Stubby Antenna from Craven Speed and will be ordering one. But I have never seen such polarized responses to something as 'silly' as how an antenna looks. I could say I just traded in my Ford for a Chevy and wouldn't get bashed this much....well, okay, maybe that's taking it too far.

Oh, and by the way, I am sure you will all love how I keep it real with my stock antenna on my T.V.! Keeping it oldschool baby!

^hahaha best response yet i think. anyway, sterling, i think you should put up some pictures of the rest of the truck. i don't think it looks too great in that pic, but hey, some pictures can make Rosie O'donnell look skinny. so i say get a pic of the whole truck and my (and i'd be willing to bet many other members) opinions may be swayed.

Yeah Sterling, please post another fullsize pic of the antenna that also shows the truck so we can see how it flows. As Khasse says, certain angles can make things look better, while others can make you almost throw up in your mouth...


Angle 1




Angle 2

Got mine on EBAY.

I like the short replacement antennas in black, not a fan of the longer billet polished though.

I have 34's on mine.

Anyway, I'm a fan of black, but at least he's sticking to chrome and not mixing it up.

Really like it here on this forum....whether or not we all agree or not. I was trying to make a point is all --- but I too understand what the others were trying to express....
So it's supposed to mimic a telescoping antenna that's broken?

If you like it, you keep it. Don't let any of us knuckleheads dictate what's right.
