You could always look for a hooptie Celica or Jetta sporting a S2000 antenna and reclaim a (most likely) stolen antenna.

I say we start a brigade and collect them in a big pile for spares. Donate them to those unfortunate S2000 victims.

Not fair. My 'other car' is a VW Passat, and I bought an S2000 antenna for it several months before I spent the big bucks to buy a complete S2000. Our antennas are somewhat shorter than the official VW antenna, and are aesthetically much more attractive. But, on my honor, I went to a Honda parts department, ordered one antenna, and picked it up a couple of days later for 20 bucks. The S2000 antenna also fits Saab 93 Viggen.

SilverS2KAZ - You stole the words right outta my mouth. I agree completely.

BTW - I believe that the Audi TT's antennas will fit the S2000 also. The coupe(hardtop) has the tiny antenna where as the droptop has the larger one.

You guy's antena's are probably for sale on eBay right now. I looked last week and saw several auctions for S2000 antena's and seats. Its a damn shame if you ask me. One good thing though is that it looked like the seats weren't selling for as much as they used to so maybe if theives can't get as much for them, all the seat stealing might slow down some....hopefully!

For the folks considering LocTite Blue for the antenna. Think about this. . .

I would rather replace a $12 - 15 antenna than pay for a body shop to repair my keyed car.

If the theif is unable to pull your antenna, he's gonna be sure you pay for his troubles. And nothing does finer than a nice key job!

I say, let 'em have the damn antenna. I have a spare that I've owned since my very first S2000 and this site made me paranoid that someone would steal it.
