So my power antenna wants to pop up, but won't. It's mecahnically effed. I also noticed the previous owner effed the male connecting piece that plugs into the stereo (no am/fm). So am I likely to replace the whole cable or can I cut, solder and plug 'n play a new connector in place? And back to the antenna itself..outside of shaving it off (which I may do one day when I decide to repaint the car), what other antenna's work well with our cars and don't require much customizing? Help is appreciated

Looks nice.
I like both long and the short antennae looks. With the long antennae, it looks like some kind of R/C car.

Not a fan of that style, reminds me of the generic PF01's. I think you should have gotten RPF1's, because RPF1's rule My next and only choice after RPF1's would be NT03's

I'm not a fan of the style either, although they closely resemble the oem gsx alloy. And for the price, I couldn't say no. I've always been partial to machined lip. My next set will be something more expensive than $400 a corner. But for now, these will do just fine. And I did say no offense.. lol
