Thinking about getting some of these fromhttp://www.vpaccessories.com/ as Christmas Gifts. Anyone have them? Opinions?

You should be okay...

...just need to keep them low on the antenna, but just above where they would flop in the wind and scratch your paint on the trunk. I run one on each of my antennas and have had absolutely no problem. As always, takes a pretty tough flag to hold up to the wind speeds on the Wing.

What wingnutzz says! I have had mine on for many miles and not a problem.

They increase the stress on the antennas substantially, if used they should be at the antenna base, as low as possible.

If mounted high on the antenna they will tear up the antenna, it's only a matter of time.

Agree. But don't have them so low that they will mar your paint.
