As mentioned above the Honda S2000 is a nice fit but to get the base is about $100 even on eBay. The antenna mast is cheap and plentiful.
I ordered a Mark IV Supra kit with the amplified unit from loCustom.com for $46.00 shipped. Should have it in a few days and see how well it fits and works.
Will post some pics when I get installed.

Thanks for the help guys... But I wasnt looking to spend over $100 on a replacment antenna... I think my antenna motor is broken too because it doesnt go up or down the antenna jus stays half way up... I still get good reception though... I was just looking to remove the OEM antenna and install a small aftermarket one... I found a nice small antenna on ebay for about 20 bucks but not sure if it would work... heres the link...

I think you have to go through the trunk, but I was also told that a speciall screwdriver is needed to get the bottom part of the mast off.

you can use a pair of channel lock pliers to remove them. It's like $10 for the whole universal antena kit on rockauto.com. I bought three of them and will use them on my ES300, already installed on my integra and was going to use it on my ls400 but I found an internal antena and will do the body work to cover the hole. I hate power antena's. All the noise they make LOL!! So I removed thw whole power unit and replaced it with this bare bones antena and shaved 3lbs. I also blieve you can use this base and the s2k antena. I beleive the diffrence is the mast is shorter on the s2k by a few inches.
