Sorry for my car being dirty.I claned just afterwards.Where's the sponsor that sells the shift boot as you can see I'm in need.

Looks pretty good, but I would recommend putting the Radio HU on top.

[Florida240sx]

Tried.Impossible.Too long.

[PoorManQ45]

Ah, yeah I forgot that CBs are a little longer then HUs.

I personally would have put it in the passenger footwell with the mic mounted near the radio, but that's just me.

I was going to put it there.But It looks so nice where it is at.Took me 4hours to get the thing installed.Actual install time was about an hour but I ran around trying to find parts to make the CB antenna fit my car and not look to bad.Also spent about 30minutes sanding the center piece because by moving the cd deck down I couldn't open it to let my CD's out. And that plastic piece is pretty fragile.

[PoorManQ45]

Can you take a picture of the antenna you used?

I personally don't mind the looks of the 7ft magnetic ones, but that's probably the redneck in me

[Florida240sx]

Yea I'll go take one.I bent it on purpose so it doesn't put eyes out on people walking by.

Here's another....The antenna is 3ft tall if you were wondering.

[PoorManQ45]

How did you fasten it to the car? I'm just wondering why you didn't put it closer to the centerline of the car.

Because I don't use the radio only CD's, I took out my stock antenna and put this in place.It is a $10 mount from the CB shop. It has a nut that screws up inside the fender.
