Ok...hated the tacky silver antenna...so I changes it to black! I think it looks much better!
Just a few questions...

Where did you buy/order it from?

How much?

Easy to change?
Hey Vader! I bought it at Autozone for around $10ish. It's black, 14". I haven't noticed any loss of signal reception, but I mostly listen to satellite! Changing it is simple...just unscrew the existing and screw in the new (it comes with the screw and adapter). Piece of cake!
Appreciation for the quick response! Now, off to Autozone (I mean the closest Canadian equivalent)!
Aaaaand, done. I actually like/prefer it to the stock part. It's got a more modern look, I don't think cutting the old one would have looked as good.
You can save $10 and cut your old one Down and paint it black. The ball on the end will pop off and you can put it again after you cut it
I'm not painting anything else on my truck since my RAM logo on my grille hasn't lasted... I'm not a body/paint guy and should be banned from buying or owning spray paints of any kind!

Princess Auto?
Actually, I liked the 14" at Canadian Tire. $12, fit like it was OEM!

Got my shorty antenna today. It's the 13" Offroad from AntennaX. It's a stouter-looking unit, thicker, and rubber coated. Simple screw-in. Now I just need to paint the chrome bezel ring black, but that will wait till warmer weather. Here's before/after comparison.
Boom, exactly the same one I have, just a different brand. Saves me from having to take a picture!
Looks good. Is there any flexibility to this one? The only thing I don't like about the short metal variety is their rigidity. If anything scrapes against them, I would think they would break or bend!
Quite flexible, bends in the wind on the highway.
You are correct, sir. The 14" is the one I have, and really like it on the Granite look. Anything blacked out just adds to the overall appeal of the Rebel style. In my humble opinion, of course.
