Okay as some of you know I'm still dealing with this 1991 eclipse, anyways is came with a power antenna and which I found out it was rare for an Eclipse to come with a power antenna. Well I just need the mast part but when I look at jnztuning and some mitsu parts site theres two different masts one with a spoiler (which I have) and one with out. The one with out is 20 bucks but the one with the spoiler is 70 bucks...damn just for a mast. And the past week I've been on a search for one in the local junk yard for a eclipse or older mitsu like a diamante but no luck. So is there really any difference between the spoiler and non spoiler one?

I believe the real difference is in height/length.

Ones for the winged vehicles will have a longer mast for the sake of the difference in height of the wing.
Ones without a wing will be shorter, because there is no extra length needed as there is no wing.

It will end up being enough to matter in size, if you opt out and get the "wingless one" you will most likely end up not being able to put the nut on the mast to keep it secure...

Bite the bullet my friend.

Isn't the mast just the part that goes up and down not the steel tube. Like I said all i need is the mast part not the tube, I thought it be sold separately?

The mast is the steel tube with the plastic part that inserts into the motor. Comes together.
