I just replaced my power antenna for the looks and performance of the FUBA
myself. If your heartset on replacing your power antenna with a stock one
that works, you can have mine if you just throw me a few bucks and pay for
shipping. 
It works and when I removed it, I was carefull not to rip out all the wiring
so it could be reused. There is just one wire that has to be cut tho' and
when you remove yours, you'll find it.

The FUBA costs arounf $45.00 depending on where and who you buy it from. 

Which island??
