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.

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.
