Default s2000 antenna

aight everyone...i need some help...my stock antenna on my 97 gsr was getting annoying everytime i change a cd it goes up and down. So i got a s2000 antenna...it looks damn nice on the car...no more annoying sounds from the stock one..I got one problem though. I need to see if anyone knows how to rig this one to the car. My friend did it but he doesnt have the directions anymore. I know there is acouple more pieces u need other than the antenna to brace it in there...if u know how to do this or have seen it done b4 please let me know...thanks

Figured. People love stubby, Fuba-like antennas. But nothing beats the quality of the mast antennas. Rarely do I listen to the radio.. but when I do it's a must have (read: traffic reports / weather)

no prob.. by the way, there is a way to make the reception better. mine isn't perfect, but it's not too bad. what i did was wire in a home receiver antenna underneath the paneling. yep, it's that simple.

the antenna itself was pretty cheap. i think i got it from radio shack for $5 or so. it's basically just copper wiring. i bolted it to the same place where the black wire bolts to: http://www.bseries.net/images/garage...tehardware.jpg
