: Someone ripped off my antenna! fosterbo 03-31-2003, 09:53 PM Has anyone else had their antenna ripped off? :cry: :cry: Some dill weed stole mine at REI on Saturday. Local dealers want anywhere from $23 to $29 for a new one. Got a $7 replacement at Kragen, but it looks wimpy. :x RML 04-01-2003, 07:54 AM fosterbo, Ouch, that stinks. The antenna just screws on and off, so it goes so real easy. From what I have heard, the antenna is the same as the S2000, so perhaps you might be able to get one from one of the Honda parts places, H and A maybe, for less than your local dealer. Good luck lon777 04-01-2003, 12:23 PM What can you do with a pinched antenna - nothing. Anyway try www.manhonda.com for your parts. They're a large dealership that highly discounts their genuine Honda parts. just send them an email or call them and they will give you a price quote quickly.

This community is great - wonderful imput about lock-tite and efficient replacements, and empathy to boot. Thanks to all! Simon 04-08-2003, 07:21 PM It's incredible. I bet it was more for the souvenir than for use as an antenna. All the Jags and Merecedes have their hood ornaments stolen around me - even the new one on display in the middle of the local mall, but those kids got caught before they got out of the mall. Sorry you had to go through that crap. loserflame 04-09-2003, 11:55 AM the easiest way to replace your antenna: find an element or CR-V in a parking lot, and take theirs! :D JUST KIDDING! PLEASE DON"T HATE-MAIL ME!!!! szacherau 04-09-2003, 01:29 PM if you are going to grab one from another E make sure you do it to a dealer :) loserflame 04-09-2003, 01:45 PM hmmm... midnight runs to the dealer for discount accessories! woohoo! :) I can get my roof rack for cheap (well, free...)!! szacherau 04-09-2003, 01:47 PM just watch out for cameras! :shock: | ||
