haha, I'm sure someone else will stop by to talk about your car here sooner or later.
That's too bad about the reception, because it looks like a nice antenna for the car. I'm probably going to keep my stock one on though. I like my radio lol

The s2000 antenna prob has better reception.

Also can't remember who made the thread but u can put the end of ur factory antenna in hot water and pull the end cap off and cut.the antenna.as short as u want then reappply the end piece its shorter and still gets reception.

Hey bro. Just stumbled across your thread. I'm pretty sure u got a magnetic grey hahaha sucks to hear about ur antenna that's why I left it stock since hiss make reception worse bcuz of the AC. Keep us updated. Here's my mod plan

Greddy Evo3 exhaust (too many ppl loosing low end from tsuso)
K&n intake
Trd lowering springs
Dezod green header
Enkei PF01 18x8 40+
Fog lights with 35w 6k(which should be here next week) to match my current low beams hids from Mengmotorsporta

And that's all lol

That's pretty much in order of how I will buy them

But the fogs are bought already

I'm stuck between a Megan catback or a evo3. I'm not really changing my exhaust for more power. I'm looking for more sound. The only.reason I'm stuck between the two is sound. The evo is only 6 decibels louder than the stock exhaust. I wish I could hear it in real life and not YouTube.

Better picture of the short antenna.
BTW, I still get reception with the antenna. Like I can still hear the station I listen too fine. But some of the other stations not so much.

theres a few different types of antennas that are stubby, the one i have is HD and better reception, they had another that looked like same thing but had HD coils wrapped etc, but yeah. different versions of the stubby. Dont know what you got or what is best exactly.

Wow that guy was being a dousche about the thread on the TRD exhaust u started. I saw the thread after I looked at ur HIDs I like: ) did u have reg fogs then add HID bulb? Or did they come HID because my car doesn't have fogs period I'll have to install them I figured HID fogs world b easier than having to change out the bulbs
