Hey, the one thing that i hate about my car is the damn antenna, it looks redicalous but i cant afford to get it shaved and painted, so does anyone have any suggestions? I never listen to the radio so i dont care if it works or not, just wish it wernt there.

You could buy a block off plate. There is a guy that lives in SoCal and works at a Honda dealership that sells them from time to time. Look in the classifieds forum.

What needs to be done to actually remove the antenna? before puting the block off plate on.

Do the wires just disconnect? or do they need to be cut?

eg4usdm

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Daniel san

this is the only way to go

sorry for the bad/dirty pic. this was taken when it was still at the shop.

I've always been curious, when you put on the block off plate, do you have to pull the antenna wire? I'd like to ditch mine, but I'm not willing to reinstall the antenna if I ever sell the car or anything.

StRacer

I would like to know also? Do u just unsnap or have to cut?

NineTwoSi

The antenna wire is soldered to the antenna so you could cut it or just get under the dash and disconnect it from the radio and pull it out... I have to agree with Daniel san though, shaving is the only way to go! I got mine shaved when I painted my car and it's the ****!

I just broke the attached section of the antenna and shoved mine into the pillar. I get FM stations, but no AM

civiccpedx

and do all honda dealers carry them? if so how much?

pdiggitydogg

anybody in here know how to remove/install another antenna?

i want one that is mechanical. will a universal kit on ebay work?

pdiggitydogg

You just unplug it and then pull it through from the outside.
Do you mean automatic/power?

idriveadelsol7

indeed sir. unplug? there are no screws? i swear my **** is like stuck. i havent had the chance to hop inside my trunk yet so i wouldn't know. i want to install a power/automatic one. will the ones they sell on ebay work? by the way, mine broke. that's why.

Del Sol is different than civic, its more like integra. (You forgot to mention you drive a del sol.) You can use one from an s2000 as far as I figure, since integras can

well what i did is i just removed the stock one and pushed the antenna down into the hole that it comes out of.

i believe that if i were to take the block off blate and put my oem one on it would still work because i still get reception. here a pic of what mine looks like



ive enjoyed it since day 1

Getting a body shop to shave it is probably the best/cleanest way to go, but using a block off plate is the next best thing. It's worth the $5 in my book.
