But do you guys have one of these to go with it? Makes it look a 1000 times better.

Chrome Base!!

 

Damn more money leaving my pocket as we speak

Are those chrome bases really chrome? Or just painted plastic?

 

Plastic, just replace the black plastic one with the L Nav. chrome plastic one.

Hear Ya Go....Also a tip on covering the black piece.
Tip for Billet Antenna users(pics)
I put my billet antenna on and did not like the black pieces underneath.So I went to ford and ordered the chrome piece.It is off the Lincoln Navigator Part # F85Z-18A927-AA . It only cost a couple dollars.Put it on and there was still a gap for the difuser that was black.So I went to pep boys.Went to the ricer aisle and picked up SPECTRE Chrome bolt caps(size 1/2 inch,12 mm .Part # 1408.Then I Drlled a 1/4 inch hole in it to fit over the adapter threads and it covered the defuser perfect.Give it a try.

Here is a Pic

 

I'm gonna have to get me one of those shiny antennas

 

Looks great guys, I have a bunch of mods to do when I get my truck back.

what is the reason for a billet antenna? Is it just for looks or does it help reception? I know it doesn't add HP.

 

Damn right.......stock antenna looks like *****.

Show and Go

...called local Merc dealer; informed part # is for a radiator cap. checking out correct item, they claimed only available with complete antenna assy: cost = $60.

 

I have come to defend Vinnies honor. The Merc dealer has his head up his a$$. I am holding the part in my hand and that is the correct part #. It cost less than $3 bucks.

F85Z-18A927-AA, one cap.
