I found mine on ebay, cost me around 21.00 with shipping. I think the Acura one is still too tall.

How's the reception??? I have an antenna off the Honda Element and it works great, although it is a little bigger than yours it still looks waaaaaayyy better than the oem one.

Honda Element uses the same antenna as the S2000.

I just put this one a couple of weeks ago. It cost about $6 for the antenna from the Acura place. Around town there is no difference in reception so far as I can tell. I haven't driven a long distance though to see if the range is lessened any.

Thanks for the idea and write up

+1 for the RDX antenna. just picked one up from an Acura on Rt18. fits flush and reception is the same as stock.

Part # 39151-STK-A01
$7.61 + 0.54 tax = $8.15 (NJ)

I made my own antenna too. Throwing on an Eliment or 2000 antenna is too easy. Gotta mod the mods.

I have an 08 Toyota Matrix antenna. Not sure how the price compares to the acura (I work at Toyota ) but looks identical.

I added an antenna from a 2008 Dodge Avenger. Half the size of the Z OEM antenna, and the base and antenna are completely flush. Best $6 I ever spent.

Spoon has a shorty antenna with small base that is for the FIT and S2k would look nice on a Z

They had a Ti Polished version too but i cant seem to find it now, maybe was discontinued.
