I bought a crappy short one off of eBay and it fits pretty well. But like has been said, the reception is definitely not as good. It's fine when the signal is strong but when I'm about 45 miles from the station (thats how far my school is) I start to lose signal as opposed to before when i could go 60+ and still hear fine.

I've got the ARK antenna on mine. I love it, looks great and reception is good. It does say for the '03, but it does fit the RD's.

Are you guys serious???

I've had a white short antenna since I bought the car. About half way up, it spirals a few times, then goes straight again. I bought it at Auto Zone. I bought one for my wife's mustang (matching black) a few years later. They're like $4

I'll look through my pictures, see if I can find one that shows it

This picture KIND OF shows my antenna. Notice the short spiral in the center

i have the ebay one and wouldnt reccomend it if you want reception as good as oem. it does look nice though. majik, i never even knew autozone had any antennas like that. and it was a direct fit?

wierd to see your car before all the work was done.

it came with adapters for Chrysler, Ford, and other cars. One of the 4 adapters it came with worked perfectly.

It just a regular antenna, and the adapters twist into the bottom of the antenna and will make it fit directly into the car.

Guys, do the power antenna deal and just leave it down. You just have a little nub that way.

I actually got one off ebay for $15. It was meant for camaros and vettes. I didnt think it was gonna fit but I liked it so I bought it anways, turns out after a bit of hard screwing and force I got it in there. Reception stayed the same and I can take it out with no problem....just getting it in there is tougher!
