Default antenna relocation... is it possible

2000 civic EX I hate having to pull out my antenna & I think it looks a lil cleaner on the later models that have the antenna on the back. how hard would it be to get one of the later civic antennas & relocate. or one of the BMW antennas. I tried to search but couldnt find anything. any threads or help would be greatly appreciated!

Killing off the stock antenna in favor of another isn't hard.

I installed an OEM block-off plate and use a Scosche amplified windshield-mount antenna now.

It's alright enough, it is better than stock even when not amplified, but I do not use radio often. I put the ground wire on the rear-view mirror bolt by the way.

I use a Metra amplified hidden antenna, probably similar to Scoshe. Works pretty well.

I don't know how it was done because I bought my last hatch and the antenna was on the roof at the back it looked pretty good and worked well. Sorry I don't have more info. I do know that he used a whole saw and pulled the headliner down to access everything. I think the ones mentioned above are easier to install and have a cleaner look.

Thanks, I'm going to get a hidden one, and delete the OEM with this http://www.inlinefour.com/92civanbloco.html unless there is something OEM that costs the same.

I couldn't find one on Majestic's site. You know where to order it?

EDIT: For a Del Sol, that is...

EDIT2: Nevermind, I found it http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...PEAKER+BRACKET
