Sorry man. I didn't see this thread until today or I would have spoken up about it earlier... if you don't like it and you are stuck with it, try throwing it up in the classified section for $10 + shipping... at least you could get SOME money back...

Who knows, you may like it... I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so the Honda antenna just would do... I had it on for 1 day and everytime I looked at my car, I saw the base of the antenna not matching up... to others, it may not be as noticable.

No worries Chris. I did read a lot of threads stating that the Honda antenna was the one to get. I'll try it and see if I can live with it.

 

I recently installed the Zeta Armrest. You're gonna love it! It's sturdy, has a quality cushion, nice storage area, it's adjustable and best of all. . . It looks factory installed!

Ordered a Stubby from carcessory.com, should be here in a couple days. . .Can't wait!

Welcome to the family! & Enjoy your xA (Best Model . . .IMHO)

 

I'm stoked about the Zeta and I can't wait to install it. Please let me know if the Stubby works out. I may be in the market for one

 

I haven't had any loss of reception or anything with my stubby antenna...

 

Finally leaving to pick up my car! Only to drive it a mile away to get an alarm installed. Tomorrow perhaps window tint, Zeta armrest, and maybe not so well fitting antenna. Thanks again everyone for all your help

 

Window Tint:

I don't know how they are in other states but stay away from Ziebart... They don't do a very good job. I've brought my car back for them to re-tint the windows +10 times and they are STILL jacked up... I finally gave up on them doing good work and fixing thier mistakes and I'll eventually have them tinted someplace else...

They also scratched my hood!

The place I'm going to has a machine that laser cuts the film custom to your. It has a lifetime warranty and all that good stuff. He did my brothers Infinity G35 and father in laws BMW 5 series. Both look very nice.

 

Another option with the floor mats is to get the carbon fiber looking ones. On my Xa RS 1.0 the floor mats match up with the dash really well. I've fooled a few people into thinking they came with the car. I got them at Wal mart for less than $20.00. For the back seats I just picked up 2 cheap black ones. With the dark gray interior and the seats all the way back you rarely see them.

Trust me its worth the wait for an Xa. I had to have mine ordered and delivered. But it was sooo worth it.

 

I caved and purchased a four piece floor mat set from the dealer. It came to $58 for the set which is not that bad considering the cheapest I found online was $44 plus s/h. I got the car home last night after the alarm install. Today I'm going to install the armrest and antenna. Saturday is tint time.

 

Post picks!

 

Well I did get the armrest in today. A little more work than I expected but overall very nice. I did the antenna it looks OK not sure if I'm going to change it. Matt I post pics just send me a link to dummies guide to posting pictures.

 

Good choice on going with the Zeta. You'll love it.

 

This is from an old "I put a Honda part on my xA" thread...

You can see how horrible the Honda S2000 antenna on the right looks. The enfig looks good but that Honda one...

 

Blue_Estel, Yep that's what I'm looking at. I'm not going to worry about it now. I would like to replace the lousy TRD shift **** I have. I had the TRD quickshifter installed by the dealer and they give you a cheap **** to go with it. I think the OEM **** is better. I have some pics to post I'll see if I can figure out photobucket. The window tint looks great but the pictures do not do it justice.

 

All xA's need to have the windows tinted... it's not only a need, it's a necessity.

 

yeah that would be cool
