I didn't invent this little modification, so my apologies to wherever I saw it a few months back. I forget if it was on one of the Mustang forums or a YouTube video, so I can't give you credit. But I saw this somewhere and thought I'd give it a try.

Cut the antenna mast off flush with the top of the 'boot' portion. A pair of diagonal-cutters worked perfectly.

Then spend $2.98 + tax at O'Reillys Auto Parts for the Dorman 47396 vaccum cap assortment. Or go to pretty much any parts store on the planet. (I used the long 1/4" cap).

There's a weak radio station down in Tunica, MS on 96.1 which comes in on the Mustang just fine but would only work in my old 4Runner in a few parts of town. Chopping the antenna in half hasn't affected my ability to pick up a really weak signal at all, so I don't think this has affected my radio reception.

Much cheaper than a billet stubby, and most of those had negative reviews for killing radio reception.

Looks good. Question - what spoiler is that?

Nice! I always appreciate low- or no-buck modifications. In this case, for myself, I bought a stubby (never listen to the radio, anyway), so I can easily go back to stock if/when I want or need to.

The spoiler is the one that comes with the rear backup camera.

@Mac 27 it's the factory spoiler on backup-camera cars. Mine is one of the few you'll find with a camera and w/o nav. I like it - splits the difference between the small one and the larger GT500 style.

That's definitely a cheaper stubby. Looks good! I, too, have the backup cam w/o nav. I love it, just wish we had some other spoiler options.
