Default S2000 antenna DIY
Is there a write up for the stubby antenna because the stock antenna is ugly IMO. So if there is please let me know thanks.

IMO I think everyone should just shave their antenna because its much cleaner that way :\

Or just disconnect the power to your antenna so it no longer moves up.

This thread shows the difference between S2000 and MDX and there's also a link to another thread on how to go about changing the antenna out.

Besides, it is very self-explanatory once you remove the trunk liner.

You still get decent reception if the antenna isn't plugged in. I forgot to plug mine back in after I installed my MDX antenna and I still got reception.

Ok, why un-necessarily hack up your car when it works fine.

Youre sure adding alot by talking ****...

Alot of people complain about it not working and mine has worked fine for a long time.

Its not bad looking and is functional, why change it?
