what antenna would you use for CB on this car and why?

[mr_fx]

simple question, lower the cost the better, at the moment I have a 102 SS whip and a 4ft firestik firefly that I could trim down a bit, BUT I am open to buying other antenna.

I think the 102 would look weird, but then again so would the firestik

Try a Wilson 5000. Something bottom loaded would look ok.

It's hard to beat ugly when it comes to performance.

Wilson 1000 or Lil-Wil if you are not running power.

X2 something bottom loaded with a stainless whip, a Wilson or a siro

Same answer as in the other thread. If 'looks' makes that much difference to you then get whatever you think would 'look' the best.

I use the ratshack 5.5 on my saturn and it works great. I have run a 102" for a couple weeks and didn't notice much difference. I run barefoot, no power adders.

102 off the front roof rack section.

102 SS whip

I would put the 102 + 4" SS extension + 3" quick release midway between the front and rear bumpers and in the center line of the roof with a puck mount. That should improve the looks of that or any vehicle!

All kidding aside that worked just fine for my ford ranger extended cab for years and fact of the matter is, as long as you are in the vehicle talking on your radio you won't worry about what it looks like outside.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

10k or Mr Coily on a mag mount

You must be kidding.

You must be kidding.

nope.
I don't recommend it for garage parkers, but my best mobile setup was a 102 off the trunk lid on my '82 malibu. he doesn't have a deck lid so...
if I had had a roof rack, I'm sure I would have put it there.
height makes might.
it does limit your drive through options though.
