Review on AntennaX 50 Cal Silver Bullet (5 by Justin Herman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you don't care about FM/AM then go for it.

Cool, easy to install, easy instructions. The only flat can only be seen from a distance of 12 inches or less. The carbon foil glued to the body panel is wrapped unevenly, but only 1-2 cm, not enough to be noticed from the nearest parking space. It took 2 weeks for my wife to find out it was there. Very reserved and unobtrusive, but as soon as he gets noticed, he becomes a topic of conversation. I live 40 miles from Chicago and 50 miles from Rockford. We used to be able to get all stations quite clearly, now they're muted at half volume and there's about 20% more background noise. I only use satellite radio when traveling and my wife uses Spotify, so we don't care about reception. If you're concerned about reception, don't use a low-profile antenna.

Pros
  • Replace your factory antenna with this stylish yet functional LOW (5.5") Silver 50 Caliber Ammo Antenna. Manufactured from T-6061 billet aluminum with a hard, silver anodized finish that will not chip, scratch or tarnish over time.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
