I don't thinks it's ricey, but hell if it adds 10 HP, buy it!

 

Sad first post (been trolling for a long time)...but I have had the exact same antenna for around 5 months. The top of the bottom metalic part, the bottom most that touches the black part, has developed some rust or discoloration. I just got finished with finals and plan on trying to use rust/blue remover to get it off. If that doesn't work I plan on putting the factory antenna back on...As for reception...I had a aftermarket stereo put in at the same time as the antenna (my antenna came in while my car was in the shop).When I did a aftermarket stereo in my Range Rover my reception was a lot weaker. So, I just assumed that aftermarket stereos , in general, did not pick up radio as well.

 

+1

 

Here's the shorty I bought. I am in questionable reception area and the reception did decrease. I could still get the strong stations well. But, the far away stations went away. Most of the time, I have this antenna on and listen to CD's.



However, if I want to get better reception I just pop this S2000 antenna on. It looks pretty good and gives me better than even the stock antenna did:

 

if u like the way it looks get it

 

mecinoid,

Did you say that you get better reception with the S2000 antennae, did you mean relative to the chrome stubby or compared to the OEM antennae?

 

I prefer the s2000 stubby. A friend of mine bought that one your looking at from courtesy and the reception is terrible with it. I wouldnt waste my time with it. If ts just for show then do it. I think it looks good on the car but, no functionality.

 

Looks good.

 

looks good... I never get up early enough to listen to radio and my mp3 collection is right at around 63 gigs ... so I'm not running out of music anytime soon.

 

It looks great and matches the door handles. However, theends of the metallic parts rust and reception is low.

 

Compared to the OEM antenna the reception is better using the S2000 antenna.

 

does it matter? if you like it buy it! dont worry about what people think...

 

gracias, macinoid, maybe I'll buy that s2000 stubbie chubbie

 

i can't believe how much attention the freakin antenna gets on this board! dayyyyum

 

i have that antenna, i like it....only reason i got it was because the first time i took my Z on a long trip and came back, the stock antenna was bent back due to the wind on the long drive

 

Not rice at all..

look good...!
