Nice. How easy was the s2k antenna install? I'm thinking about doing that.

S2k antenna install was pretty easy. At first i was reading the directions before i performed the installation and it seemed all foreign language to me. Overall i'm pleased with it. Radio reception is not as good though. I get most stations, but the ones that i was on border of losing before, i have totally lost now. Thats ok though cause i don't listen to the radio. CDs rule

Contact RStor if you want the kit, hes a good man!

Sweet, what year is it? Looks brand new.

You should get a very light tint. And I don't know about you, but I like my s2k antenna tilted backwards a little. My car looks faster that way. lol

it's an '01. Yeah tint is gonna be my last cosmetic item for my car. I kinda wanna go for more of a dark tint. Light tint is cool too so i can stay legal. I like it slanted too. But then i looked at the left over watermark from the ring (from the original position), i couldn't seem to remove it. So i just kept the stock position. Also if you tilt it, and you look from the back of the car, the antenna sticks out sideways. The s2000's don't stick out sideways.

I have a white teg, and I regret getting 35% for the side windows, and 20% for the rears and rear window. I'd recommend you stick with one xx% and do it all around. And don't let them tint the dotted part, it looks ghey/unclean.

Regarding the s2k tilting:
Not really. Mine is tilted towards the rear. And when viewed from the rear, its 90 degrees straight up. It really depends on how you place the white plastic adapter thing( ). I turned it until I got the tilt I wanted. My friend has it tilted even more, and its straight up when viewed from the back.

By "little black holder", you mean the black thing at the bottom of the s2k antenna, right?

The white adapter thing is this:


That thing will have to be rotated slightly. Once you get the tilt you want, screw the antenna on. Then turn the black part so the antenna will be straight when viewed from the back. It's kinda hard to explain.

Here's a nice tilt:
