Just curious has anyone bought and installed this stubby antenna?

I just bought it and now am wondering if I should've bought the Honda S2000 antenna everyone seems to be getting. I am worried about losing reception.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I would've gotten the S2000 antenna. At most, it's 25 bucks from your local Honda dealer. It fits nicely on the tC's mast. The ones at Carccesorry won't fit flush like the S2000 antenna...

TakumiJr has the I Series antenna in black on his xA. I think his xA looks chubbier with the short 3.5" antenna compared to my "JDM Short Antenna" which is 8". (I think the S2000 Antenna is 6")

 

I did get the S2000 antenna from H&A. No loss in reception, and it looks great. Should last a long time, too. I've seen too many of those stubby rubber antennas that look like crap after a year or so. I've also heard that the very short all-metal antennas do reduce reception.

Post your reviews of the Honda S2000 Antenna, folks! :D

 

where can i find this JDM short antenna at.I read your review and it seems that you really like it and you didn't seem to loose reception................juan

 

Done!

 

since i found out how easy it was to remove it but simply unscrewing the stock one, im scared of my antenna.

 

be careful from those kids around the block. I heard some cases where the antennas and valve cap cover were stolen :D

 

Just got the antenna from carcessory.com. It is smaller than I thought - fits great and I really like the way it looks! I don't know about reception yet though.

Will let you know if the reception sucks.

 

I like my atenna, anything is better than the stock antenna

 

I got the S2000's antenna and I wasn't that happy since it didn't fit flush.

I found this one on eBay, bought it and got it today in the mail, and this one fits flush and the texture of this antenna is like the OEM one which is shiny so the looks goes perfectly with the OEM base unlike the ruberry flat black texture of the S2k's.

Good luck with that one. The base on the "JDM Short Antenna" is the same size as your 16" stock antenna. I think the s2000 antenna fits so much nicer on the tC than the stock or JDM Short Antenna.

 

reception is fine

 

Yep - no change in reception for the carcessory.com antenna and it looks great!

 

No loss of reception for me when i got my jdm style short antenna. The one i got is 3.5". I didn't like how the stock antenna was really long. It seemed like an r/c car with it...haha.

 

I have a 3" antenna that I got off ebay. No loss of reception that I have noticed.
