Silly question, but I don't know if all the C5s came with the electric antenna or not. If so, I am assuming this replaces that whole setup? Mine still works fine, but I don't necessarily like the looks of it when it is up.

Verts have a power antenna, Coupes have antennas embedded in the windshield, Z06s have the fixed mast antennas,

Those work on a Z06 or FRC, but if you want one on a convertible, you'll have to replace the whole antenna ***'y. The ones pictured screw onto a stud that is not present on a convertible.

The first mod I did to my Vert when I bought it was replace the Antenna. The stock power one is a real eyesore.
The stubbies are a good option, if you search there are plenty of threads detailing how to replace the power antenna with a stubby.
The power antenna also has decent reception when its down. You can simply unplug it, and it should be acceptable unless you're out away from the city.
I replaced mine with a hidden amplified antenna that's mounted inside the rear quarter panel. The reception is on par with stock.
