I know I know--it needs to be in the Appearance/Cosmetic area, but I figured it would benefit more here until it gets moved. I want to thank SearchBeforeUPost--his how to helped tremendously. I had to go about it a little different, and it feels really secure. I am going to put a water-proof sealant around the base of the antenna area for a good hold and seal(not on the finish paint area obviously).

Sweet red ecks looks really nice.

 

Nice job dude! It looks really clean!

 

should be pics now--no red xs. Radio reception is pretty good right now, and I still havent made/hooked up the actual antenna wire yet.

Im sure many have done this, but i got tired of my blown motor assembly with the mast in the up position.

Yup there they are now, looks very nice. And there was a write up done recently.

 

Looks good

Now we need some daytime shots and of the car

Parts list?

 

Berry Berry Nice... props on yet another nice DIY job...seems like everyone is getting ansy lately and getting creative..Its nice to see all the creativity and innovation in the Accord Forum

 

I'll take a few today and post them tonight, as well as the parts list. It is primarily the same as the write up that was floating around, but i had to modify my setup just a bit.

 

That stuff looks REALLY clean!!! I might have to attempt that on my ride seeing as how its the same color and all How long did take you and how much did it cost...Or maybe i should just go look at Searchbeforeyoupost's post bout it huh??

 

looks much like the s2000's, except its not narrow. good job

 

for all who are interested: the s2k antenna from a dealership was $20 or so. In ACCORDance with Search's thread----I used a 12" #10-32 threaded rod, washers to fit the rod(one large like in his pics), nuts to fit the rod as well. I ended up removing the antenna bolt and used a tee nut or equivelant(basically need something that the rod and antenna can both screw into). I used the piece that looks like the PVC from the old antenna motor assembly--its metal so its more durable. A little tweaking and fitting and some waterproof sealant for a safety precaution and so far so good.

Just a few day time pics for my fellow ******(you know who you are)

 

I like it....its not too big and not too little

I :heart: DIY's

how is your reception

 

I may mach 3 that bitch someday if i repaint the whole car, but for now i wanted rid of the blown motor assembly and mast.

 

Ken, you can see the male piece coming from the black plastic collar around the old antenna mast/motor assembly piece.

 

hey, my reception is great, had an antenna mounted in the top of my windshield ... radio sucks anyways, who needs the radio?

 

i have a s2k antenna on my vw

hmm maybe the folks in this threat could clear up my confusion. Just got my baby (94 ex 2dr) in november and i had always noticed that i didnt have an antenna (at least on the exterior). The previous owner never mentioned shaving it, and if he did its super clean and you cant even tell. anyone know if my specific model came without an exterior antenna?
