IMO, it looks just like the JDM antenna but its not. the antenna came from a nissan versa. it looks like even the sentras have the same antenna. its been playing around in my head until a buddy of mine agreed for us to swap it out. for the versa no alteration is required but to make it fit the evo, a little trimming is required. took me about 15 minutes using a box cutter to trim off the inner rubber and voila my own shorty antenna. it measures 7 inches in length and absolutely no gap at all.

 

cool, still a bit long. i prefer the perrin one, a lot of the 8/9 guys used s2k and element antennas

 

AAAAAAAHAHAHA

I did the same thing. I took my friends Nissan Versa antenna before he sold it. The fit isn't that great the bottom stretches out a little, but it works.

Somewhere there are Versas running around thinking they are Evos.

 

yeah i was worried of the bottom stretching out too so i made sure i took off as much inner rubber as i could. i couldnt be more happier with how it turned out.

 

any difference in sound quality? not related to the antenna, but i just bought a used X and it still has satellite radio, how long will that last?

 

no difference in sound at all. surprised you still have sat radio? it was only free for 6 months upon purchase of the X new. i did hear a handful getting it free longer as the car was a demo?

 

no clue. i bought it last week with 7,800 miles on it, and its been sitting at that dealer for months i'm sure, maybe it was bought by someone within the last 6 months and then traded in?

 

how much? where did you get it?

 

27.5 OTD in new rochelle toyota in long island....front bumper has two small cracks (which i can hopefully cover with a aero front lip) and a keyed trunk

 

hey man, where did you get that carbon fiber rally-style lip and how much?? looks sick

 

got it from ravspec, a vendor on here. i think it was $325 but i believe prices have gone up a bit.

 

oh damn, i rather spend that on an intake lol. btw i got a really nice rexspeed carbon fiber shorty antenna for only like 35.

 

where did you get that VG from? and how much?

 

got it from the UK for a little over $400 shipped.

 

perrin shorty FTW
