welp, ive officially overridden the gf. she was pissed, but i fixed it by running all over hell and finding her some peach fanta lol.

this is what i got.
from what ive read, its about the best in features/money ratio. im gonna go ahead and pretend i wasn't swayed at all by the fact i can make it match my dash.

its basically the same radio as you guys' except with an updated faceplate from what i can gather.

heres a forum thread on it http://forums.radioreference.com/cb-...ry-review.html

supposed to be here by monday, so ive got lots of time to read what all these abbreviations mean lol.

That'* a nice radio. I prefer the "Classic" face though for some reason.

how did u mount urs mouse? did u remove the ashtray? never been in ur style silvy so i dont know what im looking at. just trying to think of non cosmetic damaging ways of mounting it.

I have the same radio as nick in all my trucks..i also have a couple more that work sitting around on the shelf..wish ida known u wanted one lol

lol me too. still looking for a stealthy antenna. i really dont wanna put a magnet on my paint. but from what ive read all the windshield ones suck ***. so im having a hell of a time finding something i can use. thinking maybe as a last resort if i cant find one i might make my own and loop it around the roof in the trough/gutter things and under the window seal. but considering the antenna needs a clear plane im not sure how well that would work.

Thats a horrible "cubby" that you see behind my radio. I had to drill into the dash. If I still had the Cobra mount I could have mounted it to the floor which would have been stealthy.

Also, magnet mounts are fine. Just pull them up, wipe the paint and the mount, and move slightly.

This will prevent paint scarring.

I have an extra antenna...and if you wanted i could fab you up domething to bolt it to your car..I can use my buick as a template.and come up with a mount for you..If you like.just gotta tell me where u want it

that might be an idea. still weighing all my options. one idea i had was to get that cobra (its powered by aa'*... just found that out) and mount it actually in the trough between the window and trunk lid, and put a piece of nitro rc car fuel line, or maybe clear weed wacker fuel line over it so it wont scratch the trunk.

i mean no offense, but the city boy in me is screaming big *** antennas on sedans are dorky lol.

this is why im thinking of sheathing it in fuel line. i think theres enough room in the trough but the lid hasa alot of travel over the window.
