Still waiting for mine to get stolen as well. However, my OEM S2K antenna killed my reception. It's terrible now. Wonder why others dont have this problem?

dchengmd,
sorry about the antennae. i would be irritated too.
i still have my stock antennae, but strange thing is that i have a spare one too. maybe the dealer accidentally left an extra one in my car.
then again, maybe i sleepwalk and steal people's antennaes.
j/k

Welp, I went out and picked up another S2K antenna this afternoon, for $19.
This time I put a drop of Rod Loctite on the tip and screwed the thing in as tight as possible. I guess we'll see what happens. It might thwart the casual thief, but if someone *really* wants the antenna, he'll get it. As long as he leaves the rest of the car alone.
Blah. What would anyone want with an OEM S2K antenna, anyway? Unless the thief also drives a Z, S2K, etc...

Yeah my "silver" shorty antenna is peeling and flaking
But my reception is the same....I had to put two tiny plastic washers in the base, though.

After I got mine stolen I put red loctite on it. While it does help keep it more secure, it DOES affect reception, at least I noticed a difference.
In any case, if the person were really that intent on stealing it, they could still get it off, theyll just put more force into it.
