This is a "BRAND NEW" Custom SHORT 4" RED Aluminum Antenna Mast. Sick of a Broken/Bent antenna or the obnoxiously tall un-stylish antenna your vehicle comes with?? Then this is the custom solution for you! This antenna is Manufactured and Anodized right here in Wisconsin!! Our experience with fit and finish is: If you want it done right, you must do it yourself! No one beats U.S.A Quality, PERIOD! This antenna is made of 6061 grade aluminum construction and finished with a durable Anodized Coating. The anodized coating cannot peel or flake off. It is part of the metal and gives the aluminum a deeper, richer metallic appearance. There will be a reduction in antenna performance due to the antenna size being shortened from the Factory antenna.

Its AM/FM radio reception performance works best for local stations (Satellite Radio/Navigation/Bluetooth not effected).
