What do you mean? OEM ones for the Integra, they suck though, go up and down when you turn on the radio, they wear out and sometimes (like mine) make really loud noises... So I pushed the antenna down all the way, and unhooked the wire from the back of my cd player so it no longer goes up, Radio doesnt sound as clear anymore, but I usually listen to my ipod anyways, Other people get the S2K antenna it looks pretty good, lots of write ups on it, hope that helped.

s2k antennas do look nice but if you want to get rid of it you can always buy a block off for the hole.

metra also carries a amplified antenna that gets mounted in the car on a window or somewhere out of sight which i've heard can get better than oem reception

IMHO the S2K antenna looks best w/ the factory antenna rubber base piece. I was probably one of the first few to do the conversion wayyyyy back in late 2001 I think.

hmph well I like having the radio, and I didn't want the ugly busted@$$ power one. So the S2K one is the best-looking option for a small amount of $.

i think the s2k antenna looks pretty good, especially compared to the stock integra one. im planning on doing the conversion sometime soon as my stock antenna is shot.

That's just for the mast by itself, with no power unit. The Metra unit is amplified. You can buy the S2000 antenna power unit that goes inside the quarter panel, but it's like $100+
