Our stock antenna is huge, and I've been looking at stubby antennas to replace it.
I know I want around 12", because I saw pictures of a 6" one on our truck and it looked wimpy, plus I still want stock reception or better.

My question is, which material is better for antenna's and gets better reception, aluminum or stainless steel?
I've found stubby antennas that are made of both:

Stainless Steel:
YOUR NISSAN PARTS.COM

Aluminum:
FA - Short Stubby Antenna - Color: Black

Thanks for any help,
Kev

...as for the antenna, how are they compared to stock? I don't really need an improvement as I listen to cd's or my ipod

Get the one you like the looks of.

I found the 13" billet antenna on eBay for a few bucks cheaper.
