My car is about to be painted and I had the antenna shaved. Any ideas on what to replace it with? I kind of wanted to use a short antenna with a base maybe off the back of the roof like the IS300's, but I can't find a universal base for it. Any suggestions guys?

 

get a hidden antenna that goes along the top of the rear glass.

 

some SC's actually have 2 antennas.. one in the rear glass, and the one we all know about. Both my SC's have em. My antenna stays down all the time, i disconnected the power to the motor. No problems with signal.

 

I thought the hidden/in glass antenna didn't come about until '96...

 

i guess its one of those weird options.. Id have to recheck on my 93, but my 92 has it for sure. It also doesnt have auto headlights, lol.

 

Can you guys point me to an aftermarket base/short setup?

 

You said you can't find a universal base? As in, you've found the antennae but not the equipment necessary to mount it?


If this is the case, I don't see how the mounting base couldn't be universal. Shouldn't it just adhere to the body?

 

if u wanna get nifty, get one of those roof mount VW ones and add it on the roof

 

You're correct, problem is I can't find a base to mount these "universal" antennas to.

 

why not just get another sc300 antenna?

 

My antenna has been shaved, and the whole assembly has been removed. I don't want another stock location or stock SC300 antenna. I need a replacement, I prefer something short, roof mounted, but I can't find a base.

 

How about the "Shark Fin", like the ones found on the Bimmers and the Audi's??
I've always wondered how it would look like on an SC...LoL

 

here u go click me

how come when i posted a thread about antennas no one helped me out..instead i got the "SEARCH!!!!!".

 

Thanks, but can I mount this on my roof? Would I have to cut a hole in the roof to get the wire run into the car?

 

ur antenna wire is inside the car. the wire should still be where the old antenna base is.
