I will trade you my stock for the perrin or buy it from you because I never listen to the radio only CD's

I just took my stocker off and left it like that. Hate those antennas anyways.

I have the honda S2000 antenna, and the reception seems to be fine. maybe you want to try that.

I have the Perrin, and haven't really noticed any difference from the stock antenna.

i just picked up an s2000 antenna from the local honda dealer.. 25 bones..
it did look alittle funny to me cause it didn't "mate" up right with the stock base... anyway i got an o-ring and rolled it down the shaft.... (that sounds kinky) how do you think it looks?

wide angle.. notice SCCA 1st Place plaque on the wall... Novice Class :)

I never took notice of the slight gap until you pointed it out, I do think that the O-ring to flush the fitting is a pretty good idea..Im gonna have to bite on that idea...thanks :D other than that nice shorty

For sure the stock antenna is better than either the Perrin and the S2k.
The S2k is better than the Perrin .

I have all three, and the stock one is the best for reception, especially if you are in rural areas.

I have noticed the reception difference also. I tried buying a reception booster from ebay, but the guy never sent it even after sending about 5 emails. It was only 5-10 dollars though. I hear it actually does work so you might want to try that.

Don't mean to jack the thread, but does anyone have a plug instead of an antenna. My RS came with an antenna, but no radio or speakers...go figure. :lol: I prefer to listen to sound of nature...my exhaust...turbo spooling...tires squealing (while autocrossing that is)...stuff of that nature...oh...and the best one...the ricer who likes to rev on ya. :P
