Default Short Antenna/Mast?

I'm looking for a short antenna as I recently had my S2000 antenna stolen at my University parking lot. Anyway I was wondering if I should order another S2k antenna or go with something better?

Thanks!

There are a couple here if you want a color:

Not sure how nice they really are though. And I don't know if anyone sells them cheaper or not either... but options exist.

I have a perrin shorty antenna. I don't recommend it if you listen to the radio. It's great for looks, but not for functionality.

oh and here is my old one

remember, it's not the size of your antenna, it's how you use it that counts.

none of the other antennas out there will get receiption as good as the S2K one. Just go straight to the Honda dealer and get one from the parts dept.

I got one off ebay and i got only static on the radio...... If you use a washer(nylon) on the bottom of the antenna it will work fine.

All other antennas will yield the same reception as having no antenna. I had a realllly stubby one and got horrible reception with it, then switched to the S2K. Just get some locktite and they won't be able to steal it next time.

I got perfect reception with the stock antenna, perfect with S2K, and terrible with that one, so compared to stock and S2K, it's worse.

same here. i had my stock antanna stolen at Scion Night 2 years ago (i actually snipped the skinny part so it was stubby) so about 5 months later i got an S2000 antanna and it was just as good, maybe even a lil better, than the stock one. I wanna get locktite but im scared that there might be the offchance that i need to take it off.
