You're voting doesn't work. Says there's nothing to vote against.
All you need is a yes / no answer for the poll. What you have are two different ones with nothing to vote against. But to answer your poll, yes please do it. |

The 14" Toyota Solara antenna has good reception and isn't a lightning rod.

The sharkfin antenna looks pretty good on our cars.
  But I also like TRDGT4's rally style antenna.   I personally chose to have my antenna shaved and go with a window-mounted antenna. Reception stayed pretty good, and there's nothing seen from outside the car. Edit- Didn't you already do the sharkfin antenna? I just realized I grabbed those pictures from one of your old threads. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=87274 -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Yeah that car was wrecked last October. It's the one I'm currently parting out. I'm about to install that Antenna on the replacement car.
I figured if there was enough interest I could do a write up of how I did it. It's actually quite easy I just didn't do all the right research ahead of time. If I had I would have chosen a different Antenna. I figured I would link to the style I bought (cheapo) route and what I should have gotten. The reception is pretty good but I'm sure with a better one it would be better. -------------------- 97 Celica GT liftback DD/ project

I notice very little to no signal loss with the 14" Solara antenna. -------------------- |

In my 94, I pushed it in while off, and unplugged it,. the reception didn't change at all,. I can still pick-up stations 65 miles away.
I'm thinking of the WRC style top mount on the project though, I love that look, and 99% of the time, I'm listening to iPod or Pandora, so who cares about radio reception. |

I just replaced my old erection with a s2000 antenna. I don't care for reception. I carry my ipod with me all the time.
