Like many others, I replaced the whip antenna on my 350Z with one from a S2000. The only thing that had ever bothered me was that the base of the Honda antenna was larger in dia then where it attached to the Z.

No more. S2000 antenna gone .. 08 Dodge Avenger is on as of .. umm .. about 1/2 hr ago.

For a total including taxes of $5.57 ....

Excellent pics. That's the one thing that bugs me about the Honda Element antenna also, the base. I'm gonna pick me up the Dodge Avenger antenna now. Thanks for posting...

The avenger antenna looks good, nice fit at the bottom. I picked up a JDM IS300 antenna way back when these other options weren't available. Fit is just as nice but the antenna looks shorter.

Do any of the above antennas give better reception? I live about 20 miles from Milwaukee and my reception in very poor. I just replaced the HU yesterday and that's about the same.
