Antenna JDM IS300 fitted> perfect fitment, including PICS!
Hi guys,
for those of you who didn't change their antenna yet.... Do it asap. It looks so much better in my opinion. I first wanted to get the popular S2000 antenna, but then came across the IS300 JDM one. This one fits perfectly (better than the S2000 apparently). I paid 22$ US including shipment. I found it on Ebay sold by ktechmotorsports, 'JDM Short antenna'. Here some pics before/after:
And no, I did not bother to wash my car before making pics

The antenna fits the base well...I assume no significant loss of signal?

It was listed for me on Ebay with reference to the IS300. Anyway, the reception is as good if not better then before..... I listen to the radio a lot.

I still think it's ridiculous that the Z even has a antenna at all on the back. It should be integrated in the windscreen or maybe a little shark shape one on the roof.

Yup, been using the Altezza (IS300) antenna for awhile now. Perfect fit (flush at base unlike S2K antenna) and reception is fine.
