Replacement Antennas

Short & Stubby

Two words that certainly don't describe the stock GT antenna are short and stubby! I love the lines of the GT but they just got the antenna wrong, plain and simple. The thing is 31" long and not retractable. Sure it can be easily removed for going through a car wash, but why all that bother? This was one of the first things I changed on my GT. I wanted something like what I had seen on some German cars...shorter, made from rubber and sportier.

After looking all over the net I found the one that I recommend. It's custom made from black real rubber (not plastic which would crack) and is quite short. I got it through the "antenna guy" over at eBay. For $15 you can't believe the difference it makes visually. Suprisingly reception has remained very good. Installation is plug and play (with the included custom adapter) and takes less than 10 minutes. I think you'll like it! You can order it here.

You have to admit it looks sporty!

Updated Information

The antenna guy now has a website and a new antenna for us! He now offers a black metal spiral style antenna. It's not quite as short as the EuroStyle rubber model but at 17" it's still a huge improvement over stock. It has the added rigidity that metal offers, too! The website is at www.antennax.com. Thanks to GT club member RRRGT for the headsup on this.

Note: Another option would be the antenna from a 2003 Tiburon which is the same length as the stock '01-02 GT antenna but is finished in a matte black color.
