I removed the OEM antenna and replaced it with an after market one, Mfged in Germany, the antenna looks great but I lost about 80% of my radio reception. Any one out there who knows what antenna to buy that will keep the same reception and still look good?
Sorry if this has been posted before.
Thanks,

 

i have the s2000 antenna i got straight from honda...it fits good but i never listen to my radio so i couldnt tell you how the reception is

 

lunartick13 we probably purchased the same antenna, i had this german one as well another billet shorty antenna & both reduced reception greatly. i currently have my factory one back on.......

zectasy, would you turn your radio on & flip through a couple stations to see how the reception comes in with the s2000 antenna? just a flip through next time you drive the car. we would greatly appreciate it.......

thanx,

I just got the S2000 antenna last week and have not noticed any drop off in the radio signal. I listen to the radio on and off, but enough to tell if it made a difference.

It was $26 with tax straight from the Honda dealership. It's worth it.

 

if you didnt notice a difference than this is a good thing. the difference in the antennas mentioned above is very obvious. almost as bad as running no antenna at all......thanx for the info im going to run by honda this afternoon!

S2000 is as good as stock.

 

well theres your proof but i will double check how the radio is when i get my car back...its in the shop

 

asatyss, one point about the S2000 antenna I've read on other threads is that the base does not match up exactly with the Z mount. Just a slight difference. Did you find that to be the case? -- Jim

 

From what I see so far The S2000 seems to be the way to go, I will try it even if my Z will be .000009% Honda. I will do the mod and post my results.
Thanks you all!!.
One more thing for those who have the antenna installed, how is the fit? does it line up like it was OEM?

 

im still kinda bummed they dont make a billet shorty that works good......the black shorty will suffice for now.........

Fitment is pretty good... just a bit off but not bad at all

 

i have the s2k antenna and it works fine and looks better than the oem one.
it is true that the base is slightly larger, but it not that noticable.

if you want to try another antenna, go to is300.net and theres a guy there who sells shorty antennas for $20. he guarantees reception, quality, etc...

 

I'm using the JDM IS300 antennae. While it works it definitely is not as good as stock. Fit is pretty cool though.

 

another vouch for the s2k antenna.

reception is the same as nissan oe antenna, imo. the base doesnt look flush with the mount but not enough stick your tongue out.

 

When ALL else fails, try this one from: www.jscspeed .com EVO 8 "Perrin Shorty Antenna". I like the fit, looks and reception.

 

i just got my s2k antenna at my local honda dealership today. it was only $19.76, cant beat that! the reception is all as good as the OEM antenna. the bulkier base is nothing to complain about. after seeing statements made about it being bigger i pictured somthing totally different. were talking about a 1/32" difference, looks totally normal to me......
