STUBBY Antenna

dylan01 · 03-03-2006, 02:32 PM

Yea yea, I know, I should know better for asking. But, which supporting vendor on the forum here sells small stubby antennas for the solstice?

I would like a 4 inch antenna or anything smaller. If there is nothing that small, what is the next smallest size up?

Thanks, and happy motoring.

There is no supporting vendor for stubby antennas, try this site and the O's are 2.55" and fit nice.

I know I'm a woman and all, But I want to also order the "O-Series" But I was wondering if I should select the Pontiac Vibe since they do not have the Solstice listed? And has anyone already bought this antenna?

Solstice Chica:
Do not select a car at ALL! just order the O's and you will be fine.
If you order the one's for a Vibe then you will have problems with them.
Here you have a couple of pictures.

I like my stubby....6" black powder coat

I might have to look into this "O" series one again.

Thanks for the pics Latin...I just ordered the "O" model...how is the reception vs. the original? I have XM, so I don't listen to the radio much, but still want good recept...

Hey where did you get that antenna? Did they have a chrome version? I want a chrome one.

Crappity Crap crap crap

Well I was not sure what to do and being the ever impatient person that I am, I ordered the "I-Series" and slected the Vibe. I've now put an email out to them and Im keeping my fingers crossed they will not send me the Vibe antenna.

Thank you for you help though, No harm no foul. I will just have to order another one.

The O-series on the website look much different than those on the pictures.
Please explain.

Maybe you're looking at the wrong pics? The pics of the O-series are the ones that LatinVenom posted, not the ones by BSpate ... that's a different antenna entirely. Also, kep in mind that the antenna acrews onto the base, so maybe the large base might be confusing you somewhat.

How long did it take to get them? I have zero patience.

The reception for this type of antenna is ONLY good for local stations, also remember I am in Florida, everything around here is Flat.
It took them about a week maybe less to send them to me.
Solstice Chica:
If you order the O series and mentioned the Vibe, it should still work, if by chance it comes with the screw already attached to the base, then take that screw off, once that is off it should work for the Solstice, if it does not come with the screw already in place then you are set to go.
Good Luck

Latin,

Thanks for the help. I did get an email back from the company letting me know that the "I" and the "X" are not compatible with the Solstice. Im trying to get them to change me order to the "O" Wish I had wait a little bit longer. But I guess I just gotta chalk that up to a lessen learned
