Product Spotlight: Agency Power Shorty Antenna

bgarage — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:31:40 +0000

So you’re looking for something tasteful, clean, and functional to add to your car’s exterior, but you don’t know what you want exactly. You review the usual: lip kit, grille, spoiler, etc. and find that you don’t have hundreds of dollars to spend. In comes the “shorty” antenna from Agency Power.

It is an affordable upgrade that rids of your current stock antenna that is most likely ginormous. Luckily, you don’t lose any radio reception by replacing your stock antenna with this piece from Agency Power. It comes in two flavors, as pictured: finned and solid. With such a flush finish, it looks OEM! The MSRP on these antennas comes in at $40 and can be found at sites like Bean Garage.

A well-tuned car is really reflected through the fine details that the owner puts in, in my opinion. A detail such as this 3” long antenna improves the sophisticated manner of your car.

Install
Installation could not be easier. You simply screw off your old antenna and replace with this. No tools needed. These antennas fit on most 08+ models, including Scion xB, xD, tC and others.

Final Review
After equipping this antenna on our project xD, we have found no disadvantages in the radio reception. The roofline looks much sleeker and clean. Compared to the stock antenna provided by Scion, this one is more attractive and contributes to the overall image of the car. Below is an image of the antenna equipped with the stock one held up:

This past weekend’s San Francisco Cherry Blossom Festival also brought out one of the more famous Scion xBs in the Northern California area. That xB is owned by the self named Kitty… Her 2004 Scion xB has taken on a new custom look, now sporting a flat black paint job and Hello Kitty Themed Pin Stripping, all done by Garage Inc.. We also will be working on getting the Hello Kitty xB set up for a formal photoshoot. For now enjoy these pics from the show.
