Well I stopped by the local Honda dealer today and picked up a Honda Element radio antenna. This is similar to the S2000, but doesn't have the same tip. I like the Element antenna better myself.

PN# for the Element antenna is 39151-s6a-e01. It cost $28 after tax. I also picked up a kitchen faucet rubber washer for $0.61 after tax from Home Depot.

Someone else on here did this mod, I just thought I'd post pics so that everyone can get an idea of how it looks.

The faucet washer is used to fill the gap between the antenna and base.

Honda Element antenna with gap. Very ugly

 

Rubber kitchen faucet washer.

 

Creative to say the least. Good job.

Moving to Show and Shine.

 

Good stuff man, how is the reception?

 

Awesome mod, so how tall is it? Shorter than a Perrin antenna, becuase I hear that's probably the best one.

 

The S2000 antenna works just fine without the washer.

 

or one could buy the perrin shorty antenna for $29 shipped and have it be half the lenght of that one...

 

nice mod but kinda looks like a ***** no?

 

if you buy the ones made for VWs you will not have the gap and wont need a faucet washer thats what I have from my old VW. the make them in all colors and polished or chrome. Aluminum or rubber.

I will post pics if you want but let me know first, this is not my thread

 

Yes please post pics

 

you can get them on ebay or do some search for VW or New beetle websites.

here and here

 

dont know if thats working

 

just go get the Perrin one.... it is half the size... that s2000 one is ugly and the one you posted is just as long....
