Default Mangowalk is awesome- Antenna

Ok so I just wanted to let peeps know that if ur looking for a stubby antenna to replace ur ugly OEM antenna , Mangowalk is a great ebay store. http://stores.ebay.com/Mangowalk-Inc

I ordered a 6 inch black stubby antenna... got one in the mail 4 days later but it's not black! There's a note in it that says "Sorry! We ran out of the item you ordered. This isn't it... this is a free gift from us to you. Your ordered item will be sent to you as soon as it comes back in stock"

I think that's awesome.. instead of bsing around and making u wait they give u an antenna (and the silver/black one don't look too bad) and send u ur original.

(i'm still skeptical... will post when i get the other one in mail)

PS- I did actually get the second antenna. Very kind of them to send me two, just because the one i ordered was temporarily out of stock.

I had one before my s2k and the radio pickup was crap compared to the s2k and the rubber bands around the antenna came off because of the weather. They did have good customer service though. I would say just google and get an s2k antenna though, the reception is MUCH better and it looks just as good in my opinion (not as cheap looking)

Since I don't listen to the radio and I don't feel like shaving off the antennae all together, I got that 2.5" REALLY stubby black antennae... love it.

I bought the 4" stubby antenna from them, and it looks much better than the long stock antenna. However, the reception sucks. Great customer service, though. If you're interested in replacing the antenna, make sure you're not into the radio. I don't use the radio, so I could care less.

The antenna I got from Mangowalk came with the antenna, as well as three mounting studs. You find the right stud to screw into your antenna opening and then screw the other side into the antenna. Basically, these antennas are one size fits all. If you're really worried, email them and tell them its for a tC, but I think you're good.

I now wish I would have just got the 2.5" antenna. I went with the 4" cause I was hoping the reception would be a bit better for those occasional times I listen to the radio. Had I known it was going to suck regardless, I would have just got the smaller one.

No, you did not buy an S2000 antenna. Its a generic antenna being advertised to fit the S2000. I don't even think thats a knockoff of the S2000 style.
