Good sound for a short antenna. Better than the rubber one.
Bought a universal antenna kit for my '94 Volvo 850. The antenna mast it came with was just way too tall. I bought this mast along with the Metra Rubber mast and ended up keeping this one. It looked better and more subtle on the car and it got better reception than the rubber model. Cool little antenna that works great overall. Only thing I can say is I wish it was 100% straight out of the box. Easy fix anyway.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
