Yes, you can do that but IMO the stock antenna is really ugly.

The tall chrome stick is just too high profile for my liking.

 

tru, but who listens to the radio???

 

I listen to Yankees broadcasts and Jim Rome...but that's besides the point.

Ryce, I dunno. I guess you're right, if Home Depot doesn't carry it noone does. I thought they sold rubber plugs in all sizes, but maybe not.

 

What if you used her bolt idea and painted the head of the bolt with touch up paint. It might look good and if it didn't you wouldn't be out more than a buck.

I might try this cause my automatic antenna is broken too.

Then you can sell your antenna motor on ebay for like $30

 

hehehe. sorry, some of the responses on this post crack me up.

I was thinking you should try re-wiring your antenna and getting a similar antenna to the one on the 6th gen accords, mounted above the defogger. It would cost like $20 for rewiring the antenna back there and then maybe a little more to actually get the part.

The antenna for the S2000 is a very popular conversion and from what I hear it works pretty darn well. You can also try the JDM IS300 antenna which is similarly short. You can look more info on that up at is300.net but I try not to go there because everybody out there is pretty harsh...

You could also remove the antenna completely and plug it (or with the screw idea, which is probably better). Good luck.

 

i gotta say :down: to bondo and fiberglass to fill holes in body work. holes in the body should be welded shut, then bonded smooth. its costs a lot more, but the fiber glass can crack under torsional stress and light impacts

 

i hear the same thing, but damn it, my side moldings are being shaved using fiberglass and bondo, and no problems. i did half of the work almost 9 months ago. no cracking nothing. looking perfect (well as perfect as half way finished work will look.)

gug did his the same way and it's been over a year nad no problems.

 

Just fill in the hole. Later get the rear window from a 94 EX coupe, like mine, and voila.....no more ugly antenna. It is now hidden within the glass and the entire car looks 100% better. Just my .05. ( I can't make change.)

 

i was told by a service advisor (or whatever they're called) at a honda dealer that the rear coupe glass won't fit a sedan. anyone else know differently?

and i'm still looking for a place that can wire an antenna into or onto the glass on the inside. most places i goto don't know what i'm talking about, and all think i want a roof mount VW antenna, or a glass mount old skool cell phone style antenna..

i'd rather not have some little black box sitting inside my window. a sticker might be ok, if its clear and not very noticable.

 

Okay, so do you all think a bolt might work? Do I need to special order a stainless steel one (they didn't have any big enough) or can I just go regular and replace it occasionally so it won't rust? I'm probably gonna try it -- I can spare a buck. And if I get a rubber washer it should be watertight. Not that there's a lot of water in that area anyway -- not submersing it or anything!
