I just purchased the oem jdm antenna and figured i would post it so that undecided ppl could take a look at a different alternative




stock usdm


comparison usdm v. jdm



jdm installed


imo a lot cleaner and its a lil bit bigger than the perrin 4'

 

congrats on the new antenna, nice inexpensive good looking mod!

 

where can we purchase it looks good

 

s2k antenna also fits

 

you gotta tell us how much you paid for a "jdm antenna"

thats too good

 

I was thinkin about getting one of them too. Did you get it from gruppe-s?

 

i think the stock one looks fine and gets great reception, but yours is pretty sick too

 

stock is too r/c car for me, shorty definitely adds a lot imo, good pick up!

 

im going to say he got it from japanparts if thats the reciept.

 

^^^ ur correct my friend... I picked up from japanparts.com ... The cost is about 30~ something dollars its varies with the currency exchange and about 13~ for shipping.

It got to my house in less than 7 days from shipment so im very satisfied. I know the perrin shorty is available for 20~ but the oem and jdm factor contributed to my decision...

Thanks for all the comments

 

I don't get it. I always loved the look of the factory antenna. Kinda looks like an RC/Rally car with it bouncing around.

 

I seriously doubt anyone but you will recognize the "JDM factor" of a measly antenna. I'd think most people would just assume it's an aftermarket piece or maybe an S2K piece.

 

^^^ your right... Ppl will more than likely not be able to tell the difference between this or that antenna...

Not what i was going for... To me it just more sense and spend 10~ more dollar and get an oem part that happens to be from japan, than another manufact's item thats all.. Thanks for your comment..

 

It always good to have a car that looks just a little different than the other aftermarket masses.

I say good job, glad your happy with it!

@borievoinitiald: I have stopped reading your sig.

 

Nice pictures of before and after. Doesn't look bad at all and I don't think its more of the JDM factor but a personal "thing" as how you want your car to look like.
