Got one. Looks great, radio reception sounds TERRIBLE now.

Just a heads-up for anyone who listens to the radio/doesn't know that eBay is a great way to waste cash. Just what I get for being cheap. :eyebrow:

I'm going to buy a Honda s2000 antenna right after I pay rent.

which one is it?

I just got one for 20 bucks, but I rarely listen to the radio anyway...I normally listen to my cds all the time.

It shouldn't be a problem if you rarely listen to your radio. It's this one:

I stuck my stock antenna back on tonight. Tomorrow after my oil change, maybe I'll stop by the Honda dealership.

It makes the car look a lot better, and the reception is acceptable if you are in the city oherwise no reception. Doesn't matter to me though because i dont listen to the radio.

For all these people who don't listen to the radio, why doesn't someone just make an antenna cap - you'd screw off the antenna and screw it on instead and it would just be a little bump and nothing else - sort of like a mini-s2000? Someone could probably make one out of the existing antenna... I like the way the tC antenna looks frankly, but I'm just saying...

Just put the s2000 antenna on tonight. Reception is better than stock. Not kiddin.

Definately worth the 20 bucks!

Somnambulated, Would you like me to move this to the "Retail, Shop & Dealer Experiences" forum for you? :)

I bought the same one. I also think it looks good but the reception trade-off is just unacceptable. I took some pictures if anyone is interested.

Hmmm...I did check out my radio the other day, and I didn't hear any problems with it. (btw, I have the exact same one)

I do have to say though that Vegas is one of those cities that has EVERYTHING, so trips outside of Vegas are so rare that I wouldn't know about it after I left the city yet. And I use cds on road trips.

If it gets to the point where I get fed up with it, I'll probably put my stock antena back on.
