Default Lets talk about ANTENNA'S! shall we, haha

the stock one is ugly as sin, The one alot of u guys rock the one from the honda's are also to long for my taste..

i got that silver stubby one, u can get threw one of the sponer links on here, they come in diff color's. ITS Sexy, but i cant get one DAMM STATION with it in my car, so im annoyed, lol

i heard the Mini one will fit out car, and i was wondering if anyone uses that, and where i could buy one online? that one is perfect looking..

i wonder if it works good?

Do a seach on honda s2000 antenna. It is a great antenna. no reception loss. The aluminium stubby antennas on ebay and around here are crap.

I have a SHORT (3.5") one I got from Axshop.com. It's.. crap. Looks great, but I get NO reception. My stereo when set to scan channels will just cycle through the whole band.

Doesn't matter cuz i listen to CD's anyway

You probably have to comprimise.... Haven't heard of anything smaller than the S2000 that gets good reception...

I like my antenna....

Same here i havent heard of any antenna other then the s2000 one giving you reception like stock. All the other short ones may look better but reception sucks on them. But like everyting else in life its give and take lol

s2000, anything else will probably make you lose reception.

Here you go: Shave off your old antenna. Fill with bondo, prime and paint.

Go to best buy. Buy a Sirius Satellite radio. Install it (find a good place to hide the flat little magnet-antenna). Pay for service.

I've always wanted to relocate my antena to the roof like the jetta or even the new corolla. Maybe even a shark fin like the new 5 series bimmer. I can't see how it could possibly be done, but it would be cool.

Purchased mine from this site, made originally for a mini I guess, works rather well but cuts out on highly dense tree areas

I have an aluminum 6" antenna and got no reception with the stock radio. Got a new Eclipse headunit and still no reception. The Eclipse headunit went ka-put on me so I got a Pioneer Premier 860 and now I have perfect reception. I dont quite understand how that works but Im not complaining.
