Stolen Antenna
 
Hey all, last night my 350Z's radio antenna was stolen (WHY?). i was so disappointed because i live in a gated community and apparently a freaking $10 antenna isn't safe there. I ordered a new one off of eBay, which should be in the mail shorty; however, i noticed i was also missing the antenna base/cover. It is basically a piece of plastic that embodies the base of the antenna like a mounting unit of some sort that attaches the antenna to the car itself. I can't find any online and i'm thinking its because i don't know what the part is called. I included a pic to show what part i'm talking about and if someone could please identify it or tell me where i can find one i would be very grateful ! Thank you.

You might need to buy that nut which, in the illustration, sits above the base part

Who in the world steals a antenna.. :dunno:

saywat? 01-24-2013 04:51 PM

lol its actually quite common especially with the s2k antenna mods lol

That's just dirty. I'm really sorry to hear it. Be thankful that they at least didn't ding/dent up your fender there ripping out the base/mounting unit.

I believe their $40 retail which is why it was stolen. The Murano or one of those shorty's should fit. The Honda version has a wider base. You could also try Ford's version which looks like our but half the size. I've test fitted the Infinity FX I think it was and it fit fine. I think I have a pic on my phone. I did not test fit the Ford antenna. The Infinity Roadster antenna does not fit as the stud is different. It may work for 370's, not sure.

Acura RDX antenna, do a search on here. Fits best IMO.

Wow, what a A$$ hole, stealing an antenna? At least it wasn't your wheels , and car left on bricks like what happened to my friends Evo. None the less, Sucks . Be on the lookout next few days, if he's a dumb thief(s) he will probably be around the area again.

drvqz33 01-24-2013 08:56 PM

People these days :icon22:

Look up the Agency Power short antenna, reception sorta sucks, but fits flush with the base and looks good imo

It's so ridiculous lately. We've had a bunch of robberies around here lately. Tennants at my grandma's condo didn't have any water because someone stole the copper pipes. We had a break-in at my house, but we have an alarm and so it went off as soon as they tried to get through the back door. All over there's been sirens going off, and when I went to get Little Caeser's pizza today, it was closed and all the employees were standing outside because a robbery. What is this world coming to? -_-

another z owner
 
I can assure you that the person who stole your antenna is a fellow 350z owner. What an asss!! I dont understand how can you own a 350z and not have money to buy a 40 dollar antenna. ridiculous.

Actually a s2k shorty is like 15-20 bucks offline lol. Pretty sad someone would go as low to steal a radio antenna.

huligan1475 01-25-2013 05:43 AM

I had fallen victim to the same fate 3 years ago...sucks. Are they that broke that they can't buy a new one? Sorry a$$ people... There was another Z owner in my complex whom I suspected but could never prove it to be him since I don't pay attention to missing antennas on other Zs.

dandiggz 01-25-2013 05:44 AM

Or maybe it was just a hater kid who wishes he had a Z. I swear some people are just stupid. Im up for a new antenna too becuase mines has been getting eaten up by the sun and its tearing. maybe after hearing this i will just leave it on since it still works fine.

There's a lot of **** bags in this world - They'll eventually get what they deserve in the end, after of course they are done getting all their freebies and handouts in life :)

T_Scott 01-25-2013 09:11 AM

That sucks. Sorry to hear! The Dodge Avenger antenna is what I have, sits flush to the base, is $6, and is less than half the size of the stock Z antenna. Reception is spot-on as well.

I know it's so pathetic. I think you may be right about it being another Z owner some of my buddies said the same thing too. There are like 3 other Zs in my community now I wish I would have paid attention to who may have had a missing antenna

abarclay 01-25-2013 09:35 AM

Who would steal 30 sack lunches?

That sucks OP

silvertouringz 01-25-2013 10:05 AM
