Default ITR antenna alternative!?

i searched, but didn't find anything but "here's what it looks like" threads. I'd like to see if there is any write ups, or where can i find a way, and wich antenna to swap out.

Thanks in advance

Order the Shark Attack II on http://www.locustom.com

Its a awesome antenna , which will take you 10minutes to fit on any integra.

Amplified S2000 look.

As awesome as the S2k antenna is, id also suggest looking into the Shark Attack II as mentioned before. Its a one wire hook up and reception, depending on who you talk to, is as good as stock. Takes 15 minutes to install and is also only 30 bux or so (check eBay for "S2000 lookalike antenna") which is a lot cheaper than a real S2000 antenna. Definatley my favorite visual mod ive ever done to my caR.

I have a complete S2k Antenna kit minus the S2k or Insight antenna if anyone is interested. It's one of the Kits RStoR used to make and that i never ended up using.

I just bought a Metra hidden amplified antenna today for my EG. I plan to use an antenna blockoff plate in conjunction. You could do the same, but instead use an Integra blockoff plug.

Man just head down to your electical store, get some wire and a switch. Find the antenna wire.

Same color and type as the fuel pump wire but thinner, yeah i cut this one by accident.

Cut the antenna power lead and insert the switch, put the switch somewhere you like, and just let the antenna go up when u need it..

cost of mod is less than 3 bucks
