My friend and I were thinking about how some STDs and maybe DXs didn't have Radios, so they wouldn't need antennas. So might there be some sort of plate that covers over the area where the antenna would be. Or did those cars not have holes drilled for it. Also does an S2000 antenna really fit and how much work does it take?

 

I bought the "plate" and seal for 3 bux at work....

 

or you could just bondo it...I don't know what the plate looks like..but bondo and some paint makes it disappear. I would show you a picture of mine..but it would be a waste of time...just looks like a hole was never there.

 

do not bondo it.the previous poster doesnt have any idea that bondo abosorbs moisture and it will shrink and the hole will look like shi_.trust me do not use bondo.either buy the plate or do it right.(weld in a plate and then fill the rest with body filler)

 

OK...hes right...its not attually bondo....its fiberglass resin. But I do have bondo in my rear windsheld wiper...its been there for 2 years....looks the same as the day I did it.

 

bondo only abosorbs water when left unpainted in the worst of conditions. if you know howto use it, its great, if not, its shitty.

 

Anyone have a picture of this plate on their car and perhaps where on hondaautomotiveparts.com it might be?

 

This is my car! Look where the antenna would be located!

 

Its really hard to see in the picture. Anyone have a close up of it.

 

found it in the EF pic post. Its guttedEF's car i believe...

 

Anyone know a site I can buy one off or anyone have one for sale?

 

me 2 i need one badly or could u tell me the seal number and plate numer? so i can order one from honda

Just go to the dealer adn tell them to look it up. Its not that hard.

 

I've needed one of those for a long time! I didn't even know the dealer made that part!! I've wasted a lot of time trying to fabricate one of my own.

Anyway, if someone could post the part# and price, that would be great, it would be most appreciated.

 

I've IMed someone to help you guys out. He works at the parts department for a Honda dealer.
His username is JoshDM, he's very cool and will help you out.

 

Yeh, that's my pic that CRX_91si posted. I got the plate and the rubber seal for like $4 I think at the Honda dealer. They didn't have it in stock, but i got it the next day. Sorry I don't have the part #'s anymore, but they can look it up on their computer. Just tell them what it is, and make sure they look on a Civic STD or a CRX DX base model.

And BTW, I still have my antenna, and it's extended. I just extended it and pushed it down into the A pillar (?) and it works fine. And looks nice IMO.

hmmm...mine doesn't wanna go down the pillar piece of sh_T!

 

i wish i wouldve known they made that plate---but im happy with my finished bondo product---looks exactly like the pass. side----if done right it WONT sink contrary to others opinions....just finist it off with a layer of fiberglass.

 

that big plate looks just as gawdy as the antenna.why not just keep the antenna.

This is the way.. shave it!

 

The way my dad does mine, and hes done body work forever, he just used fiberglass resin and shaved it that way. Its been there for like a year and sitll looks good. A

 

Ordered mine the other day, but here's what they charged:
seal $3.38
cap $3.69
screws $.34 ea

And they told me they were giving me the wholesale price at 10% off list. Not a big deal, but strange how it varies from dealer to dealer.
