#44814, "shaved antenna"


          

i know some people have done this. my question is, did you relocate the antenna somewhere else on the car so you can still get reception? i mostly listen to cds, but i still would like to have the radio. any help?

another option is those short antennas that look like the S2000 ones, they are rubber and about a foot or so in height. as for shaving, what ^^^ said, the only other alternative would be an antenna installed in your hatch (on the glass) im pretty sure GS+ came with this option. iv also seen a guy put a smaller antenna that had two little poles going each direction and mounted it to the hatch cover...looked kinda ghetto imo.

i thought about the shorter one, but i dont want the antenna back there at all. i think it would look better shaved with the gtr wing. i will look into the window glass one, i thought they came from the factory like that, i didnt know they sold aftermarket ones...kind of like the defroster lines on the glass. i will search around and see what i come up with.

I relocated the stock one in the hatch behind plastic peices... You aren't going to get the best quality in the world doing it this way. but its free.

Speaking of antennas, I had an amp installed about 6 months ago when I bought the car (I know how to do it, i'm just sick of it, I HATE intalling amps, i'd rather pay the 50 bucks emoji) and ever since my radio reception has been CRAP. furthermore, to turn on the amp I have to raise the antenna...i'd really like to improve reception/keep the antenna permanently down, any ideas? How hard is it to trace the wiring from the reciever all the way back to the antenna?
