Perry, I think you've made your point. Please exit this thread, thanks.

Ryeno, please knock off the confrontational responses. Our forum is about building and building upon, not destroying...

i didnt, i used a honda element one. Its the samething as the s2k but more plain. A scion antenna may work as well but its not tapered like the s2k/element one so i think it looks worse.

I got my antenna used but the trick to finding a good one is making sure its not bent. If the car was driven throw a car wash with the antenna attached, then it will be crooked.

Did you get to install this antenna, how's the reception? I want to do the same thing. I wanted to put a shorter antenna or a shark fin style antenna of a newer lexus but i like the look of no antenna better.

@chef05b: i bought one of those antennas and reception is pretty good. I had trouble actually finding a place to mount it. I ended up placing it behind the gauge cluster. I'm going to see if i can find a 4' extension so i can mount it up by the sun roof or somewhere on the rear deck.

It's so annoying.
