Shortie antenna is worth at least 15 HP.



Those interested can also go with the Audi TT version which AFAIK is even smaller... or might be the exact same one. Not 100% sure... but they all fit.

Good looking option if you don't mind cutting your reception (my younger brother has one on his Jetta, cut his radio reception a little but looks much cleaner...)

 

The Audi TT Antenna is definitely shorter. I went it to get one, but the tech said that the bolt pattern was not the same, so it would not just screw on.
Regardless the reason I did not get it, was it cost
$125.00 !!!!!

I then went to the Honda dealer and purchased the S2000/Element antenna for $20.97 including tax.

 

Kinda of a silly question, but does the shorter antenna effect reception? AM? FM? Any channels more/less clear? I know the in-windshield antennas allways got poor reception.

Sweating the stiff stuff,

 

Wow, that's really short. I thought the stock one was small to begin with, but that Honda one is interesting. I'd also like to hear about performance problems anyone has (or hasn't) had.

 

well .. I don't listen to AM / FM much however from what little I did playing around, the Honda antenna seems to pick up FM a little bit better then the stock mitsu. In my garage anyhow, who knows in any case I'd say they are at least equal

 

haha funny how i bump into thi post after i saw this i uncrewed myIS300 antanna and it fits the evo

 

TIUS,

Thank you for the comparo picture. I appreciate that you took the time to show us the exact difference.

This won't effect the downforce of the rear picnic table will it?

 

I think many are interchangable, at least with the Japanese cars.

I wasn't going to do it, until I saw that the Toyota Corolla parked next to me, had the same exact stock antenna. I decided if I was going to look like someone else, it was better it be an S2000.
Now all the toyota corolla people can upgrade to the Lexus antenna

I really got it to save money on a car cover. Its a ***** to find a cheap cover that goes over those big antennas.
I think I may have found a 3" antenna too. Just need to verify it fits.

 

i just picked up a honda s2000 short antenna for 15.00

 

did u pick it up at a honda dealer?

 

yeah online, so i had to pay 3.65 shipping, so it was 18.00, its some dealership in citrus heights ,ca

 

The dealer quoted me $19 but sold it to me for $14.95 without me even asking for a discount! I guess it pays to have my family buying cars from them
