Default Alternative to the MDX Antenna from LoCustom?

Since LoCustoms is not making the MDX antenna's anymore, is there another place I can order an MDX antenna (besides buying from the dealership)?

I took the hit and purchased direct from Acura. The dealer happened to have one on hand. Think it was close to 100 bucks. I dont think the styling is for everybody.

Keep the clean lines of the SC and go with a hidden antenna better. This is what I am going to get:

I have never been a fan of the "shark fin" antennas either.

I bought an MDX style and think it is to large and overstated. Also reception is poor.I tried a hidden antenna before with a 12v. power wire and got worse reception. The shaved look is what I want and the guarenteed one looks promising.
