One more stubby antenna option

[silverbrabus]

Pros:
1) 3" long
2) coil type, not just a machined piece
3) matches factory matte plastic and base diameter perfectly

Cons:
1) expensive ~$50 shipped
2) it's a stubby -- will lose the weak stations

What is it? -- aftermarket accessory for the Honda Fit from JDM tuner Spoon.

How do you get one? Google "Fit Spoon antenna." Got mine from:

Lets see......$5 for a Dodge Avenger one vs $50 for an a/m Honda Fit one? Hummmmmmm..................

Mine looks identical to that one except for a slight fluted bottom that actually fits better on the "ball". it cost me 7 bucks off of ebay shipped!

I'd go for aesthetic over function. I use the Dodge Avenger one and some station reception are poor, but I can get most of the stations with my iPhone anyway.

the only reason I have FM is to run my sat radio into the system.... actually having ANY antenna is useless for that. In my other car I took the antenna totally off and now have great sat radio minus interference of terrestrial radio

It's the "Brabus tax."

No comparison on the aesthetics though.

IMO the Dodge one is uglier than factory -- wouldn't put it on my car at any price.

The Ebay one is a machined post right? -- with performance only slightly better than no antenna at all.

This one is plastic with an internal coil -- gives up some performance to a "mast" type but works amazingly well for a 3" antenna.

I like my Mopar stubby

The one I recieved from Dodge is not like the pictured one and is flat black with no exposed wire. Fit right and the price was right at under 10 dollars.
