So I bought a carbon fiber short antenna go my tC and after I put it on my stations are all fuzzy... Is there anything I can do to make them work???

different antenna lol; most aftermarkets were more so for look and sort of make the quality worse

 

Not to sound like a jerk but put the old one back on. This is to make sure it is the antenne and not something else. IIRC radio shack does sell an antenne booster that should help but this is always a problem if you shrink your antenne without compensating for that.

antenna probably just sucks! you should switch s2000 one.

 

But it looks so much better.... The old one I had on there had the rubber all peeled off and I didn't like the way it looked... Any other antenna I can buy that looks good AND works lol

a s2000 antenna, it is short and it works!

 

Pretty much every 'stubby' antenna like that is the same, no reception.
Yup, S2000 is the way to go - it's the antenna used on the Honda S2000, available at a Honda dealer, on ebay, or sometimes for sale here in the classified section.
Be careful though, there are fakes. Most expensive option, but going to the dealer insures you get a real one.

 

So an actual factory s2000 antenna will fit ?? Or after market

Adds 5 HP.

 

Get a factory one. Honda Element antenna fits also, same length as the S2000.

 

I'll trade my factory one that's in fine condition if you want... =D I never listen to the radio, so it doesn't matter what it sounds like to me.

 

Toyota also makes shorter antennas too... i have a thing putting Honda parts on my car... so I found one from a Toyota Matrix that fits perfectly.

 

Where do you live

thanks for this squall. but what year?

 

I have the exact same antenna. The problem comes from the fact that the whole mast is metal instead of just the threaded part covered in rubber.

So that makes the metal antenna ground out on the outer ring metal piece that it shouldn't touch. If you cover the metal ring with black tape then screw it in lightly so it doesn't break through it picks up a little better but still not like the factory antenna would. My car came with this one and I just ordered the s2k antenna off of ebay because I usually do listen to the radio and travel a lot and with this antenna I get a lot of dead areas.

 

i use a 02 Acura mdx anntanna. it was 12.00. it may be the same as a s2000. i never crossed the number to check.

 

mine came off a 2009 Matrix.

 

2nd this.
