That would be a cool mod. I never use my radio either. XM, CD's, and VCD's for me...

uhhh, how's it ruin the look of the car? it looks IDENTICAL to the pass side of your car....unless you have one of the Rare "Bi-antennae'd" 350Z's...

The "mod" posted by the OP brings an old word back to life "HACK JOB". spend the 12 bucks instead of going to starbucks if you want a short antenna...finished product is much better w/ S2k and other antenna options.

How on earth can it ruin the look of the car? So basically you're saying the Z looks jacked up if you look at from the passenger side, regardless?

I think it looks pretty clean. I shaved the antenna on my old car. Totally destroyed the reception though. I got the tape ones and it still didn't work that great. But for the s2k antenna, I do no notice a difference in the reception. Even with the Monster cable fm transmitter hooked up to an ipod.

I hate to advertise for others but...Vivid Racing has a very cool short alumimum antenna. I paid $20 for it. No difference in reception.

I put on an antenna from a Honda Element, and it seems that I'm actually getting better reception, than my OEM antenna.
