Its lagit, looks like the older Accord antenna block off plate in the top pic, the block off plate should match the shape of the factory/aftermarket antenna.

since my oem antenna is broken i decided to purchase a smaller one and get a block off plate. its also an amplified antenna that has to be powered and grounded to work. it works great, no static and is hidden inside my headliner with great reception.

heres what i have:

how hard is it to find that type of squared block off plate? cause the oblong one looks disgusting.

I have the second one. I haven't installed it, but I test-fitted it and it seems to do the job.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't removing your antenna the point of having the antenna blockoff/delete? Not having an antenna seems like it would kill all reception as well...

Which isn't a big deal for me, I have a JDM tape deck and I have no interest in radio anyway.

All the ones I've seen look like the Civic ones(the second one).

Anyways, who cares if it's OEM or not; as long as it's clean. I just have a "dummy" antenna on my car since I use an iPod.

your right.

but the only reason i removed the oem antenna is because it snapped in half, so i bought the flat one, now i have weird stump coming out of my antenna plate.

plus when i get tired of hearing the same song over and over again with cds and mp3 player, i switch to the radio.

I don't think I've ever been that desperate. Then again, I own 200+ CD's and I've downloaded/been burned several hundred more and I'm constantly exploring and making new music, so...

Another thing is that American radio is the worst radio in the known universe, and you're in the Philippines, so you're probably on a completely different page anyway.

The one you bought is way cleaner than the OEM setup anyway, it's a win-win situation.

What's up with your location then? Very deceiving...

I take back what I said about the radio then. USA radio = ear torture.
