What do you guys replace the stock radio antenna with? I'm thinking something black and something that doesn't go as high. What do you have and pics please.

Thanks

Put this on my MSM. Looks great, excellent reception. Beats the old retractable mast, looks wise.

He also sells it on ebay. Good kit.

I just got a factory '99 non-power antenna bracket and base for my '00. I'm going to just stick a generic shorty antenna mast onto it. I'll lose some reception, but my favorite radio station comes in just fine long before my power antenna is at full mast.

I thought about getting an aftermarket one as above, but my car gets no respect from passers-by :x, and I've heard if someone yanks on one of those antennas that mounts only to the fender, that it can crease the fender. The factory antenna bracket bolts to the frame.

check out rspeed they got the s2000 type antenna for like 20 bucks plus it looks good

I have it.. check out my garage. It's made by Amco Japan.

I saw it on a NA last friday at the meet. It was a red NA with Enkei wheels. It looked tight.

Here's mine. The reception isn't any good. So sometimes i use a s2000 type

Replace stock antenna with:

-rubber fill plug
-sheet metal (remove it altogether)
-battery cut-off switch

JDMC: Hows the reception on yours

AMMENDES: Which one are you using? do you just switch out the unscrewable antenna part sometimes when recpetion is bad?

Metromotorsports.com also has the s2k style antenna, and it too is only $20 or so.
It also says it mounts to the factory base.

-battery cut-off switch

Oh! Great idea! Now I don't have to think about where to put one... out the hole it goes!

Gratzie.

The one from Metro is the same Amco one that I have.

Is that true? Ive been thinking of replacing the flag pole in my car with something shorter, but I havent found anything that I feel good about yet. I want one of the S2K style antennas, but I dont want anyone screwing up my fenders.

rubber plug, aka windshield whiper plug, is what I recommend, looks so much better

 

[ghostofwar]

Yeah, I was thinking about one of the hidden antennas and plugging the hole. Where do you get the plug?

 

[ghostofwar]

Plug?
