*sigh* why am i so nice

That wasn't nice! Those are super expensive and the exact same thing Mangowalk sells for $8 on eBay!

Look up the username Mangowalk on eBay and buy a flexible 3" black stubby, it looks great! Just like OEM.

The 170mm Honda S2000 antenna was my final choice. It not only looks good it doesn't degrade radio reception and it's flexible.

the ones on ebay are just fine for me I bought mine from there but dont remember the seller I think it was bimmerpartsfast go with the 3"

[goldguilexx]

since when is 25 bucks super expensive? besides, id rather pay a lil more and have peace of mind that the product is a quality one rahter than something that could come from god knows where

I got the 127mm after many on this forum complained about poor quality from the shorter antenna, especially on AM stations. I am not sure why I did since I only use my DICE connected iPod.

Well $25 became super expensive the moment it was compared to a similar item that costs 1/4 the price. It is all relative.

With the many many people on this site that have ordered from Mangowalk and have given great reviews (have yet to see a bad one) I would say there is more peace of mind with those than with something from an online parts store.

To the OP, feel free to pay as much as you would like for it, they are prety much all the same.

I just screwed mine off

I'm wainting for my Mangowalk antenna now, I'm running the Bimmian 4" which is very good but I dont like the alumnium look toghether with the rubber. Too bad Mangowalk only offer 3" in rubber.

I got mine from ********** and it looks great

I've got one from Mangowalk as well, a 3" chrome one, i think there is a very slight loss in reception quality, but only noticeable when driving through tunnels.

Anyhow, i've had the strangest idea the other day.
Do you think a shark fin antenna, like the ones on 3er E46, would fit ? and would look good ?
Of course, there would be some more work than just unscrewing the antenna blade...

Same antenna mast for the last couple of years production for the S2000. Good fit and reception. IIRC MSRP is around $32.00 dollars from the Honda parts dept. On-line is cheaper but shipping usually eats up the savings.
