Try the "stubby" antenna? I know there's a thread on here somewhere about it, I think it's from an S2000..?

 

honda s2000 and honda element antenna's work perfect. it's been discussed and settled before. the s2000 is actually cheaper. its apparently 7 inches long. the stocker is something rediculous like 14. the perrin shorty is REAL small, i think 4 inches.

 

14 inches is not ridiculous. This is:

 

I got my shorty antenna off of ebay for 7 bucks, plus 5 shipping
It works great, alls you do is screw off the old one and screw on the new one, its probably the easiest mod you will ever do.

 

i just modified the stocker and it looks better than any of the ones you buy so ha

 

I modded the stock one too. Cost me $2 for crazy glue and 5 mins of my time. Super easy mod and i haven't noticed any reception loss.

 

ummmm ok, so how did you mod it then?

 

element's antenna is a lil' more expensive by around 10 bucks than the s2000. it fits the evo but a lil' long so i had to cut the screw part a lil' bit so it will be flashed. the s2 is the same size so you will have to cut it to if you want it flashed. the dealer didn't have the s2 ant in stock thats why i got the element's. looks better than stock! imo.

 

might try it

 

aparently the bmw antenna is a gps antenna soo is there any way or other car that uses a "fin" style antenna that can be applied to the ra?

 

The Mazdaspeed 3's stubby antenna fits perfectly on the RA

 

:
I "borrowed" an elements. I gave him my stocker for the meantime until i see him again . I'll probably just laugh instead of giving it back because my reception is better now than stock. I'm in Dallas, though, so we probably have strong signals around here.

 

I modded my stock antenna as well. Very easy!
1. Cut the antenna off at the top of the thicker plastic part.
2. Use just the slightest bit of black silicone to give it a rounded finish.
3. Screw it back on and there you. You got a shorty antenna that looks good and works well with stronger signal stations.
But whatever, between cd's and ipod adapter i never listen to the radio anyways

 

i just bought a perrin antenna looks good too
