IMO the Dodge one is uglier than factory -- wouldn't put it on my car at any price.
Feel free NOT to use the picture of my car... Especially if you're going to rag on it...

I love my Dodge Antenna on my car. It is short, easy to clean around and I think its pretty sweet looking. Especially it was only $5!!!

Don't mean to brag, but even though mine is 'ribbed' and twice as big, I've had NO COMPLAINTS in the 6 months or so the wife and I have been using it!

I would love to find a short then stock antenna. Reception is my biggest problem. I want a super mini antenna that picks up everything If any one knows of such a thing please send me a link. Actually I have a window mount was thinking of putting up behind and under the pano cover.

Yes that's why mine is still long! Who wants to clip it and make it work 1/4 as good?
