antenna was painted over
I guess the guy who has my s2000 before me did not like using the radio. He removed the antenna and painted over it. I have no antenna nor to I have a spot for one to be. What should I do? Take it to honda and have them install a new one? Any ideas? The radio is horrible!

im a little confused as to whats going on...so the previous owner had the antenna and the base for the antenna shaved? if thats the case..i'd say leave it..the s2000 looks a lot cleaner without the antenna.
or
you can pull back on the trunk liner and attach an antenna and put the liner back on...that way you will have reception

I really just want the reception. I'll get reception by leaving the antenna in the trunk behind the liner? It does look a lot better, but I'd like to be able to use my radio.

i think you can attach it behind the liner as was stated before, imo no antenna is hella clean. my car has a huge antenna and when i put it on it looks like a complete RC car haha

Place the OEM antenna and all the wirings inside the cabin (next to the passenger side seatbelt) for best reception. For a cleaner look, use an aftermarket internal antenna.

I'll give that a shot. Is the cable for the antenna on the driver side or the passenger side? Do you know if autozone or napa sells them?

Get XM/Sirius and forget about FM.
Just putting the antenna in the trunk should work, but if you want something else, you can also look at getting a windshield with an internal antenna. Replacing the windshield would probably be the same cost as un-shaving the antenna.

Get an internal antenna that attaches to the windscreen. It is not visible.
