DESCRIPTION
If you ever thought that tall whip-like antenna might be a hazard to unsuspecting eyeballs or a future casualty at a drive-thru car wash, we found a perfect solution. The Stubby Antenna is just 3.77 inches tall, super easy to install (unscrew the old, screw on the new Stubby!), machined from billet aluminum and then powdercoated for durability, and will not affect radio reception or interfere with satellite radio services. It blends in perfectly with the sporty lines of the Miata but you will notice it every time you look at your Miata. Works better with custom-fitted car covers too!CUSTOMERS WHO BOUGHT THIS ITEM ALSO BOUGHT

Stubby Antenna
I love this stubby antenna. It's low profile ads to the appearance of my Mx5 and the reception is as good or better. Would definitely recommend.
Great antenna. Looks way better than stock! Very easy install.
The stock antenna not only gives the little MX-5 RF an RC car look, it detracts from the low and lean look of the car a bit. This Stubby takes car of that. I play music from my phone via CarPlay and haven't once used the radio. But I suspect that radio reception suffers a bit due to the Stubby being a smaller, shorter bit of metal vs the stock antenna length and coil wrap design. Also. This is a quality piece and the finish is an exact match for the base on the car that it screws into. It looks stock when installed.
The stock antenna makes the MX-5 look like an RC car. This one fixes that problem. It doesn't seem to degrade radio reception much, but I don't listen to music in my Miata anyway. My RoadsterSport Race muffler is all I want to hear.
I love everthing about it. Dosent seem to degrade audio performance, but I'm mostly listening to my twin tip Super Q exhaust (not reviewed yet...but its going to be great) system these days.

Love this little antenna. In my opinion, the stock one is way too long and on the diminutive MX5 made it look like an RC car. The stubby antenna provides the same signal quality and makes the antenna not very noticeable, which is a good thing in my opinion. I also like that there is less sticking up from the car to get snagged on things.
I know most people are probably interested in signal degradation, and while my tests are not scientific, in the month or so I have been using this item I have noticed no difference in the quality of my radio stations.
Fitment and build quality are excellent. Reception seems to have been unaffected by the shorter antenna, but I probably don't listen to AM/FM radio enough to make a thorough assessment. Works as advertised and it looks great!
