They're nice antennas too...my buddy put one on his Tiburon a couple of years ago. Antennas on cars are a little more universal then I thought.

Fitment and look is awesome. All you have to do is grind off about 1/2 to 2/3 of the threads so that the base of the antenna will sit flush. I have an S2K antenna on my car, picked it up for $17 at my local Honda dealership. Sorry, no pics rigth now, but if you coem by teh Volvo dealership here, I will gladly show you my car with it on

it fits pretty good... but get the one for the honda element... it's cheaper and the same.

either way you will want to get a washer for the bottom or you'll have just a little gap

I use a S2K antenna on my car. Screws right on, looks like it is supposed to be there PLUS it actually still allows your radio to work. Not a bad $28 mod.

Do you lose radio reception with the S2K antenna? I thought it might not be as receptive as the bigger, uglier, evo antenna.

I guess I should have mentioned about the reception instead of just saying "it actually still allows the radio to still work". The reception is not as good as the stocker but it does still get stations. The other shorty billet antenna's allow slim to no reception.

It's not the size that counts...
I don't hear any difference. I had a crappy ebay antenna before which had nearly no reception at all.... but the S2000 antenna works fine for me.

Fitment is alright, it doesnt twist all the way down to the twist lock on but its fits. i personally like the perrin attenna more just cuz its metal and a lot smaller. But the reception sucks on it, Radio reception. So up to you. Regardless it bats the factory antenna.
