Shorter Antenna Pics?

The Honda S200 antennae fit perfectly IMO. And the radio reception is perfect!!!
This is the one I was referring to above:

If you look at the pic of it on the Z in the auction, you can see the base doesn't stick out like the S2K antenna does. Just ordered myself one.
I don't care for the ultra-stubby look; may as well shave the antenna and put a stealth one elsewhere if you're going that route, IMO.

yeah i had it for a while. it does match the base perfect. and the color is a gloss black that matches better than he rough flat s2000 look. you can get them on ebay i think. the reception was great i recommend them. the only reason i went smaller is i have XM didnt even car about reception anymore

I've seen several folks install their XM antenna on that bar as well & they said they get pretty good reception. Plus I think it would make the car look super clean without any antennas sticking out & you wouldn't have to worry about kids stealing them as well.
mine is located in the far corner of the passenger side of the dash right under the windsheild. there is a great place to put it right on top of the dash in the center. it looks like its supposed to go there, only problem was the 3 guage cluster piece wont completly snap back tight because of the wire. so that why i put it in the corner

Also IMO if you cut it all the way down it will look cheesey if you can't
clean up the center , my setup look's exactly like the oem minus 7 inch's.
Just got my JDM IS300 style antenna I ordered from Ebay:

Fits perfect, base matches up perfectly (does not stick out at all like S2K/Element antenna) and reception seems as good as stock antenna. Very happy with it.

are these hard antennas or soft ones? i mean like when you drive do they bend backwards and flex?
