I like mine, a Honda antenna off the S2000. Most people buy them for $20 from a Honda dealer, i got ripped off for $30 bux and almost got towed while parking at the honda dealership.

Take a look at the EVO Perrin "Shorty Antenna" at www.jscspeed.com.

that EVO perrin is 27 which is more than what the Honda one goes for.

And you can't beat the Honda one for convenience. Just stop by the dealer and they should have it in stock.

Mind you, I've had mine stolen so its always a possibility and it only takes one dick of a kid and your down $20.

I am at work and don't have access to my pic's, but I posted a pick on 1/04/2005. Look in "Regional", "Northeast" and Thread titled: "Short Black Radio Antenna".

I have the shorty from an S2000. Reception seems to be as good as stock.

i ended up buying the s2k....if fits perfect and looks good too. i haven't tried reception yet. one dealer said 30 and another dealer said 20 so make sure you call around for the better deal.

Call Nissan and ask them for the antena from a Nissan Murano Sport Ut. It's shorter and nicer looking then the S2000 antena. I'll try and post up some pics. Reception is about 80% as good as stock IMO. Check it out.You'll be surprised.

the reception on the honda s2k antenna is as good as stock so thats what i would recommend...the element antenna appears to have a smaller base so it looks a bit cleaner

Funny how everyone mentions S2k.

I have this antenna, but I believe the same antenna comes on the minivans and Suv's across the Honda line now. It's a very easy to find part.

350zephyr....thats another reason the s2k is a good choice....you can get it at any Honda dealer in town and they will most likely have it in stock

They look the same but they are not actually the same...

Im sure the functionalities are equal but appearance wise... the element has a smoother tip and smaller base... than the s2k's (but thats nit-picking)

I think someone said a shorty antenna off a Murano also works well
