    Boomerang antenna?

    anyone ever throw one on the back of their 4 door?

    i never paid much attention to them before but i think they look pretty sweet on the back of panther limos

    next time i go to the junk yard i think i might try to grab one off an conversion van or something unless someone here has one?

    I think on your car it would look right. You just need some of those spoked wheels now.

            i have one that i would like to put on my mark VI but not sure how it would look, there is a 2door mark on cardomain with one that looks cool but unsure. they do look good on the back of marquis' and town cars.

                      Well, those are technically a TV antenna, but if you really want to run one it would operate on the FM band. TVs use just below and just above the FM radio band so it should perform fine. Thats analog VHF tv mind you, not the digital UHF frequencies.

                        well i got it today. $3...

                        your right, the cable end screws right into the back of the TV

                        on the bottom there was alot of left over foam tape and only one threaded hole for a bolt to come up through from inside the trunk. the cable leads right out the bottom. idk what that noch in the side of the base is for, it doesnt lead to the cable.




                        it needs a good sanding and i'll probably just spraypaint it and spray clear it
