Which base and color matches the best between the perrin and s2k? For some reason my local honda stealership wants $30 for an s2k tenny.

Um, that's what they cost.

And they're both black. S2K probably matches better.

I-Black short stubby billet 3.5" fixed-length antenna

I just bought this antenna and put it on my car, and it looks great. The guy sent me an extra stud that was shorter than the s2000 stud, so it fit with no gap. The color and mast also matched the car's antenna base.

Finally, here is a pic of my antenna.


Came from the Honda dealership I USED to work at.. hehehe. I left and got a nice summer internship. Now they will be wondering where the antenna for the new Accord Hybrid V6 went. lol. No biggie.. parts had dozens of them. As far as I know, the "short" antennas that fit the Lancer from the dealership I worked at are.. Honda S2000, Honda Element, Honda Accord, Kia Spectra 5, and maybe a few others. I forget.

lol wtf is up with this shorty antenna craze? i mean does the radio sound better coming from a short antenna? I don't get it
In my opinion that's a waste of 20-30 dollars. I mean jebus I can't imagine any1 saying "Wow check out the shorty antenna! That's crazy!".

Don't mean to sound like i'm clowning but is there something i'm missing here

it looks better to me actually, if you compare it to how the stock antenna is, man it looks so much better.

so I guess you can say its more for looks than for function.

I don't quite notice the antenna all that much, unless its the ones that are retractable and are 4 ft. long, like on integras. EWWWW
