Default s2000 antenna

i read a post here yesterday about someone replacing the tC antenna with the honda short antenna. i didn't like the long twisted tC antenna and was passing the honda dealership today so i checked it out. i bought one ($25.00 or so). to my amazement i can now get 103.1 indie (a local underpowered station) clearer than with the tC antenna. imo, it looks better as well. parts guy obviously thought i had an s2000 and said "you're like the fourth guy this week coming in for a replacement....wonder why people are stealing these. i said they fit a lot of cars. it might be me but i think i gets better reception.

They seem to be a popular choice for a lot of tC owners. Shorter than the stock antenna without any noticable loss of reception.

I hate to jump on bandwagons...but the fact that these are better looking, inexpensive, and get OEM reception just sold me!

Argh, just when I thought I'd be able to contribute to this thread, I was too slow!

I wasn't too sure about the S2000 ant. but it does give my tC a very clean look.! I would advice to pick it up online if you can. Honda dealers are markin' these suckers up big time! ($31.98 here in the 'NO = rip-off!!) Buy it from H&A. You won't be disappointed!
P.S. Reception-wise, I can't tell the difference between the 2.

I would post a pic, but i'm fairly new and don't know just how to do that yet. Sorry
