Default replacement antenna help

my antenna is broker than hell, er shit, uh, something that's really broke. . . anyhow, this is what i'm wondering:

my original antenna looked good, well it looked like it belonged on the car i guess. as of right now thou, i've replaced it with a coathanger :thumbup: and it kicks the shit out of the original antenna as far as reception is concerned (maybe not so much looks-wise thou)

anyhow, i'm looking to replace the coathanger with a 'real' antenna, and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to what i should replace it with?

a stock honda antenna or a euro-style antenna, or one of those led antenne?! lol

basically, i'm just looking for a good reception, obviously, looks are a second for me

thx for the help

i don't know too much about antennas but i would think they would all have about the same reception. i would try maybe looking at autozone or advanced for a replacement and see what they have to offer.

The dealer one is cheap believe it or not. I got mine for $18.** and it was so easy to put in myself. I know prices vary from dealer to dealer, so you should look into a factory one and mabye you'll get lucky like I did.
