Need a cheap shorty antenna?
www.stubbyantenna.com
I just received my order from the site (I ordered the I-Black antenna). It's metallic and comes with several screw adapters (the middle sized screw will fit the Z33). Reception is clear (your results may vary), the antenna base is a great fit (unlike the Honda antenna that is too fat at the base), and best of all, it was cheap, about $13 shipped.

The problem is that the cheaper ones don't have the same finish as the OEM's.
My particular one has the same finish and it has lasted double versus the cheaper ones I've bought in the past.

Figured I'd go ahead and ask this- does any place sell some kind of cap for when you plain and simple don't want an antenna?

Agency Power antenna. I bough mine from
www.vividracing.com
The base of the antenna is 100% flush with the car. Best fitment I've ever seen & I get great reception.

This is how it looks. Unfortunately it will not screw down any further so there is a bit of a gap. I thought about getting a black washer or something to make it flush but never bothered.

Yeah- a bodyshop that can shave your antenna.
