New antenna

I just got my first mod for my car a new antenna. I think It looks pretty sharp to go with my 2005 Black Mica 3.

we should powdercoat it black so it matches...I got one for my wife's car. Looks nice and is engraved "Mazdaspeed"....coated black.

As soon as it comes that's a great idea I ust have to find somewhere that will do that.

I got it this afternoon and it looks great even without being painted. I still will probably paint it though.

You can get that one and a lot of other ones on EBAY like I did. My wife and I both have them and they work fine, no lost of signal. I got ones that were about 5" long and have had it about 6 months now. Looks great on the car.

I like all three of them they have on that site you posted. I just got my 3 a few weeks ago and was talking about getting a new antenna, I thought they would be more expensive though. thanks.

I'm also thinking of getting a new antenna - a shorter/stubby one. But I'm wondering if it will affect radio reception.

Any thoughts?

Looks ok I spose

I hope I have this right so far. I m a new member and not quite used to this type of site. Your aftermarket antena looks pretty sweet but I wonder about reception.

Correct I haven't had any noticeable problems with reception.
