I purchased the Honda S2000 short antenna (replacement antenna purchased through Courtesy) and it doesnt really line up with the base that is on the car. While it looks awkward, as it seems to opverhang the base..... is there a better matched "short" antenna replacement out there that is available?

 

I saw this the other day

i have the perrin 4" antennae from performance nissan.. it looks great!

 

They both look great... perrin and S2000...

But if you want radio reception... get the S2000 antenna...

 

Unfortunately the reviews on the Perrin are so good either and the S2000 seems too big for the base that is attached permanently to the car.

Is there anything on the market that is short, fits properly and is functional as well.

 

i saw someone on the boards that used the little onstar antenna off gm cars.

it was a little long so he cut a tiny part of the thread off. reception was still good. looked slick too.

 

I have the S2K antenna and it fits great, good reception too

 

I bought a stubby billet antenna from ebay for $15 shipped. See my cardomain sight below to see what it looks like.

 

+1 on the ebay antenna......got one for 9 bucks.

Its metal and tiny, like 2".

Reception is poor.......but I never listen to the radio so.............

 

+ 1.
I think it looks great and works just fine on my Z.

 

honda element antenna is perrrrfect.

 

there is a thread on here somewhere in which a good recommendation was to search ebay for the JDM IS300 antenna. It has perfect reception and is shorter and lines up perfectly with the base of the OEM 350Z antenna

 

u r right.. the perrin i have give reasonable reception in the city only.. it sucks in the countryside.. for the long roadtrips, i switched it back to the regular antennae

 

do you have any pics of it, iheartZ?

 

Get the Honda Element antenna. It's more flush at the base than the S2K. I think the S2K doesn't look that bad at all though.

 

LOL. Didn't realize you already posted this but +1 to that .

 

I had the Honda Element antenna but, I prefer look of the S2000 antenna.

It looks great and the reception is excellent as well.

 

The IS300 antenna fits perfect. I don't see why everyone keeps trying the S2000 antenna when so many have posted that the base does not line up.
