Default question for you guys who shaved their antenna

Is it possible to still get good reception if you shave your antenna? i was considering rigging the stock antenna behind the blastic hatch lining or maybe running some cable to try and get some reception? What do you guys suggest?

You will need the special reception boost unit found on the s2k, its an official honda part and it connects to the bottom of the antenna before the wire runs off to the deck.

If you do a search in the integra forum i think, someone posted a honda manual page that shows the actual boost location and part number..

I went with an internal antenna as well. You can see it on the hatch glass.

I got the for $15 + tax at circuit city.

The reception on the stock antenna is a little bit better though.
