No, but you could just call the dealerships parts department, and make sure they have them in stock as well. But I think they are around $30 there, definatley more then $20, but it depends on the markup at the particular dealership too.

S2000 Antenna. Do you have a gap or no gap? I've heard of both cases.

Mines got a gap. It's not really noticeable except from up close, but it bugged me, so I got a flat rubber washer, dremmeled the inside to try to make it as flush as possible.
Here is the gap:

And here is with the washer:

I dremeled the inside of the washer a little more to make it more flush, but you get the idea.


Greg:
so, do you still have the black knub on your car? Or did you take that off as well and fill in the hole? I dont' listen to the radio at all, so this antenna is purely cosmetic. I just thought it would fit better.

It screws right on. Takes a few seconds. Very easy.

When i pulled up to the Honda dealer to get my s2000 antenna, like three salesmen came up to me instantly to ask whether they could "help me with anything". When i told them i was just going to the parts department the first guy just told me to repark my car cause i was a little over the line . i got a good chuckle out of that one

i have a Honda Element antenna. The Si (EP), Element, and Acura MDX antennas have a slightly slimmer base than the S2000 (the early ones anyway). People say H2 antennas are nice and shorter. k

Fools... I have an antenna that's even better than the s2000 one! I got the Element antenna!! muhahahahaha...


Just kidding.. I actually went to the Honda dealer with my buddy David who has a BSP tC. We got there and went to the parts department asked for s2000 antennas, turns out they were really Element antennas... so s2000 antenna = Element antenna. Got them for $25.75
