Default replaced my antenna - Almost wish I hadn't.

sorry for the night pic.


..doesn't look too bad. Worse than the s2000 I think. Saved some weight and I actually get better reception. Reason I replaced it was because of the noise of the retractable one and that sometimes it wouldn't go fully down on cold days. Fuba antenna I think it's called. Cheap replacement. Your opinions?

, , or ?

Opinions? Ok where to start.

1.) The antenna looks ok, but I prefer my stock one.
2.) You need all red tail lights, they like much cleaner.
3.) Paint the side moldings.

Those are my opinions. I used to have an Integra that looked just like yours.

heh, thanks for standing up for me - but yeah that was his opinion.
I like my amber lights and more so wouldn't pay $100+ for some red tails.
If I had that kind of money to blow, I would have Defi gauges instead of Autometer.

anyways - try to keep the comments on the antenna. I was kinda indecisive if I liked it or not. That's why I made this post - see what others think about it.

Too bad you couldn't plug up that hole and mount it on the back side of the roof...I personally think it looks a little odd just sitting there. But, it does look better than that stock sailboat mast.

haha.....anyways, if you DID want the red tail lights, instead of spend too much $$ on them you could just paint them red. a lot of the all red taillights you see are painted red and not the stock red.

Ha ha, to take this thread even more to sh*t, I painted my tail lights red and they came out pretty good, you can't seen the color difference at all. But as far as the antenna, looks different I say:
STEP 1: ##&#&#&##&#&
STEP 2: Take the money aquired from "STEP 1" and shave the antenna, buy a cd player, (if you don't have one yet) and burn cds from ripped mp3s. That's the way to go.

search for "fubu" on ebay. It's called the a Fubu Hybrid Antenna. ~$20

..oh yeah. Make sure you put something else in there - or your search will return a bunch of clothes/boots.
