Default Switch to TA style power antenna

Im wanting to switch my mast antenna over to a power antenna like on the TA and FB.

Searched eBay and found several different types, that claim they will work. Any ideas?

Just about any power antenna off ebay will work, I've gone through a few of them since I made the change. If you're going to do it, go with a GM antenna or you will be replacing it every year or so. I just switched to a hidden antenna and will be filling the antenna hole in the rear fender when I get time.

Forgot to say that you'll have to run a remote wire, perferably from your aftermarket stereo. Then you'll also need to run a power source and ground. The ground is easy as there are several bolts to groung to. I used the power to the hatch locking mech. for mine. You'd also have to fab up some framework if you don't go with the GM unit made for the camaro. There is a bracket that mounts to the spare tire bracket that actually holds the antenna in place.
