the antenna i got from Ebay for $3.99, its for VW and BMW cars (2.5 Inches)
and i used a universal mount for the rest of the install, however u have to reuse the factory gromet.
sweet, Im gonna have to do this. Much cheaper than what i was gonna do and that was shave and repaint and go with that shark fin antenna. How is the reception?

its ok, i have not lost reception yet, but that depends on where you live. I'm in new orleans so reception is strong in the city. another option is to put a power antenna receiver in the trunk. it is a small black box where you plug your antenna lead in and 12v. it is hidden/out of sight and very powerful. circuit city has them in the road shop for about $60.
Besides the antenna, you need a universal antenna mount. i bought mine from autozone for $20. it was the GM universal antenna, but you can use others. if you need pics just PM me.
For those that want the S2K antenna and dont feel like spending 100 bucks for one. Search "Shark Attack II Amplified Antenna" on ebay. It looks pretty much like the S2K but cost $43.80 after shipping. Im gonna get this in a couple weeks and change out the 7" mast with a 2.5" one that nexus 4.0 used.
