Mitsubishi Dealer. Cost you an arm and a leg though. Try some wreckers or go aftermarket.

It would prob be a smarter option to upgrade to an elec aerial.. I did this on my TF a few weeks ago and love it! makes the car look so much cleaner with the aerial tucked away...

Edit: Pretty sure you can get a TJ (might be TL.. I cant remember) one for a little over $100 from a mits dealer?

thanks. i might do that. is it hard to get the cable through to the back from the front?
also, does the power work directly off the stereo?

Nah, not really. Took me around 15/20 mins to run the cables (Turn on wire and power) from the deck to the aerial, although I have done it all before to run my amp cabling so it might take you a little longer if its your first time...

I dont know if you have a stock deck or not, but most aftermarket headunit should have a dedicated aerial wire. Mine did, so the aerial only goes up when the radio is turned on which is really good.

It cost about $110 from mits dealer. The after market ones like Aeropro are about $270!!!

Wonder is it easy to take out the aerial. My after market one which I used to get it at $120 has been motor damaged.

It's pretty easy to take out - remove boot carpet from LHS, unbolt the bracket that holds the boot release, unplug the aerial wiring, undo aerial nut from outside of car (either with two screwdrivers in the slot or with vice grips) and it just comes out.
