im looking for a shorter antenna for my IX for cosmetic reason. any suggestions? the lancer crowd seems to all go with the s2000 antenna. not sure if that will fit

 

yea it will fit. or u can just cut your stocker.
or get a perrin

 

the first thing i bought even before my car was Perrin 4" antenna. haha!

 

hows reception?

 

I went to honda and grabbed an 05 s2k unit. Fits perfectly no issues, it's probably a couple of inches. Cost me 16 dollars and some change, and I didnt wait for shipping, they had tons in stock at the parts counter.

 

s2k's do not fit perfect. You need to cut of about 1/8" from the post for a perfect fit.
I have one, and made a post on it a long long time ago.

 

S2k antenna, Evo VII JDM antenna, or the Perrin shorty.

 

When I worked at a Honda dealer, I kinda of "swapped" with an '07 CRV...

 

Perrin shorty. Reception is decent, but not quite as good as the stock one when you near the end of a stations range.

 

yeah the reception is decent, but i dont listen to the radio anyways. it's all the ipod! haha.

 

decided to cut my stock antenna. so far i get perfect reception outside my house . if reception suffers i'll go with the s2k from the stealership.

 

I had the s200 antenea on my Protege5 and its now on my Evo. It fits like a glove. I believe I paid $16 for it new.

 

Last time I checked S2k antennas cost $17.09 at www.HandAaccessories.com

 

I paid 16 at honda locally. I did notice that the post is about 1/30th of an inch too long. I did not cut it, I just slid an anodized black washer over it and it fits perfectly now, and it looks stock. Got the washer in a package of 40 from lowes about a year ago for like 5 bucks or something, might even be able to mail you one if you pay for the stamps!

 

wonder if you can get the washer at home depot by the single
