sorry i missed the part that he cut it off already. cutting it just doesnt feel right. like i said $25 is fast to get over with. i bought my element antenna and i thought it was too much but after a few days, im over it and i liked my new antenna. plus its better looking.

 

well i bought a shorty for $13 via ebay. i just need it there for looks. i don't use the radio at all.

i bought it cause i just didn't like the "rough edge" look it had after cutting it. i know that some of you will think that no one would notice it, but i would every time i look at it. i'd be much happier knowing that it's rounded off and "factory" looking, and not a cheap way out. sorry assassin, no offense to you, but i just didn't like it.


word up

 

i cut my antenna and glued a wire cap on the end. reception is zero... but it looks nice, haha.



i may buy a shorty antenna that actually works since they broadcast locally at autox events... and even with the transmitter maybe 100 yards away my radio wasn't picking up jack.

 

i have a 4inch genuine honda antenna that fits..pm me if you're interested...i have th 2inch perrin, not a noticeable loss of reception

 

I cut mine too and sprayed the tip black. Its still black and I love the way it looks. Plus its free.

FYI: Free > $25

 

I cut mine too, but will get a shorty for looks.(who listens to radio music anyways?) When i bought the car i found a spare antenna under the driver seat.

 

you guys know you can just unscrew it right?

 

^ yeah but I like the way it looks cut off. I had mine off for a long time until I found it in my friends driveway (was drunk one night and was using it as a sword) so I put it back on and cut it.

p.s. I was not driving drunk...I was just out by my car drunk. lol

 

oh the perks of the evo diffuser...

 

Perrin isn't exactly Rays Eng. A knock off will work just as fine.

 

actually, our cars can run without antennas and still catch the radio. mine went as far as working in the tunnels.

 

it would be fine without the antenna, but what about the silver screw threads showing

 

mines all black, matches up nicely

 

You might be able to find a black short screw or plastic cap with a stub on it that could fit in the hole so cover up the threads from a hardware store or home depot or something.

 

i think i will venture into lowes today. is the main antenna thing able to detach off the roof so i can bring it in with me, or is it like glued on or something?
