Default Shorty/Stubby Antenna

Would this antenna work on my '93 LS400?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LEXUS...#ht_5419wt_922

If not, can someone point me in the direction of a shorty/stubby antenna that WOULD work on my '93 LS400?

Thanks in advance, everyone!

So, an S2000 antenna is a direct bolt-on, or what?

i say just go for it. $12, not bad. You can search the 350z its the same as the S2k.

I was thinking of going this route as well. The retractable is just to dated for me. Looks like a fishing pole sticking out as your cruising down the road.

Please do -- my mast broke long ago and I have it sticking up about 6
" to get most radio signals clearly. Honestly I would rather keep it as is than go back with the OEM mast - that things extends about 5 feet - looks like a CB radio antenna

Pretty cool. Connections look to be the same as the LS.

The Vision(ebay) is the s2000 screw size which the seller said will not fit. Looking at the antenna as well as the highly detailed email that the seller sent me(NOT) i would say its definitely worth a shot.


LOL, in the post the guy states the reception isnt as good on fm and am almost none.

What do you guys think, does this straight up style look cool or does it need a little angle to it? FYI not my car or pic, this was the car in the link provided by Pure..
