Stupid Question but does the factory antenna just unscrew out? I've tried unscrewing it but it just seems to turn in place. Am I just an R-tard?

 

You're just an R-tard.

Just playing, but yeah, unscrews out...remember, counter-clockwise!

 

I have the PERRIN 2" SHORTY ANTENNA and there is no gap

also have the 4", 4inch looks better with the high spoiler but the 2inch looks better wingless

 

yes I know you don't have to reiterate that fact

I guess I'll hop on ebay for a shorty antenna...There's a pretty sweet "shark" type antenna like the BMWs have but it goes for like $72 shipped on ebay. I think I'll just spend the $10-$15 bux and call it a day

 

evidently, mitsubishi in japan sells one for the evos there. i saw this on japanparts.com



i might get this one. i don't like any of these third party products, all of them look cheap and tacky

 

the stock antenna on the X sucks, i was wondering if any of these actually help with reception. My Sirrius cuts out all the time

 

Thats just the satellite radio. It has to have direct connection at all times. Anytimes you go under a tunnel, overpass, or even trees it will cut off.

 

I have the Perrin as well and there is definitely a gap. I'm going to give japanparts a shot and see how that looks. Right now its about 45USD shipped.

 

not true, the XM in my audi is great. Rarely cuts out, only if i go under a long bridge or a tunnel. I think it must have a buffer or something.

I went with a shark fin....paint and fit is great-recep sucks in tunnels, ect. But matches well and looks good, imo

 

Can't go wrong with OEM, nice and flush . Radio reception quality is the same as the original so far.

 

Where did you pick this up?

 

OEM or JDM-OEM?

 

Ordered from Japanparts's website. I think it is this forum's sponsor also?

 

It should be "JDM-OEM" because the store is in Japan and the package came from Japan. The prices are all in Yen too. The ordering process can seem pretty complicated, but not hard if you follow their payment instructions.

I want those JDM auto folding mirrors from there too, but no one knows how to install or if it'll work with North American Evo Xs yet .
