Well, if someone else didn't make the joke, I would have.

On topic: really though, what's the deal with the shorter antennas? I don't think the tC's antenna is that long, especially compared to many other cars out there.

Ditto... it's just an antenna... maybe it's because they think it moves to much? ::Shrugs::

I clicked this thread thinking it was about me. I haven't replaced mine yet, I haven't decided if it's worth it or not.

I bought mine off Ebay, it looks cool but the reception sucks. I'm probably gonna put the stock one back on.

Heres a pic:

the s2000 antenna is perfect. does not degrade the reception of the radio. i believe anything smaller than 8 inches makes the reception worse.

Just go to a nearest Honda dealer, ask for S2000 Antenna, spend just a few more bucks! No waiting

its just one of those little things that you can do to your car that make it look good with out you really noticing. Its a total package kind of accessory... Like most people wouldnt notice notice the lip or window tinting because it doesnt jump out at you. But it makes the car look damn good!!

does the s2000 antenna screw on like the tcs or are there any adaptors needed?
