dealership parts dept says its the same part # as the s2k
did you get the other s2k antenna from honda or from ebay? it might not have been an authentic s2k antenna if it was from ebay.

Here's the pic of the RDX Antenna, and something extra.

I think is pretty flush but you guys be the judge.

A friend of my owns a RDX, I was able to test his before I made my decision. The only downside I can think of is it lost that clearcoat finish that our original one have.
Just a personal preference.

Yep I got the S2k antenna from EBAY. I guess it wasn't an authentic S2k antenna but it definitely wasn't the same as the one I have on my car now.

Just take your significant other for a test drive in a rdx and come back minus the antenna. They won't notice for hours.

The Element antenna fits good. Not quite flush though, it hangs over the edges just a tad. Radio reception is the same. RDX antenna truely looks as though it fits flush though.
