The Honda dealer. Ask for an S2000 or Element antenna (or check the Classifieds forum). Reception should be fine with either of those. Just be careful of crappy eBay ones.

the 09 matrix antenna also works and is more flexable then some of those honda antennas. buddy had teh stiff one and it caught on something and broke the base, not a cheap repair.
