antenna issues

[90_cb7]

went through the carwash at spinx cause i wanted a clean car but just didnt feel like getting out in our 100 degree weather to do it. i was listening to a cd and did not realize that the antenna was still up. when i did it was too late! now it wont go all the way back down it is bent at the antenna base. should i pay $100+ for a new power antenna or turn this into my first project and shve it or something like that???

i figured you guys might get a chuckle out of this, the guy that gave me the accord, attepmted a Toyota power antenna transplant, lol needless to say that didnt work out, still had me rollling to see TOYOTA on my antenna when i took apart the trunk =P

I think ive seen them floating around used for cheaper, or maybe u can try gettin an imitation if yur a cheapskate like me, hehe

i think ppl have dun this conversion to the matrix as well? or the IS300 antenna?

I hit up a junk yard last night to find an antenna, found one out of a 92, worked great and only cost me 30 bones. It's nice to have radio as an option again.. (kids ripped mine off about 2 years ago)

S2k Antenna............

Hey i was just browsing around and seen that you might be thinking about doing an antenna mod....well i did a DIY on swapping your OEM power antenna with one from an S2k and it came out perfect...no leaks, no bad signal, no nothing!!. You can source a kit from the old DIY or buy the setup off of www.hondaautomotiveparts.com. Runs about 90$. This is the DIY for the S2k with pictures.


And on a side note....i lost my power antenna the same as you....fricking carwashes!

I've had to replace my electric antenna twice tks to my girlfriend forgetting in the carwash. Ebay always has them. Whether you need just the antenna or the motor and everything too. Make sure you get the right one for your year and coupe/sedan/wagon.

arent the s2k antennas 'universal'?

[Ralphie]

Ummm yea u can probably get the s2k one to work with any car...ive only heard of it working with our cars, teggys, s2k(obviously), audi, and Vw. So i dunno if u can do it on others but im sure u can!

[90_cb7]

if i shave it will i still recieve a signal???

[aznboi5022]

my girlfriend took my car on a voyage into someones backyard, right through their fence. broke my antenna. i dont think i want to get a power antenna anymore anyways because with the OEM spoiler i have to wait for the antenna to go down all the way before i can safely open the trunk anyways. so i say s2k antenna all the way

[90_cb7]

is there anyplace else i could mount an antenna(hidden)?

[VonLefty]

I used to have my antenna mounted inside my dash, worked well. Easy to do.
