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.

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?
