I got mine stolen as well. I would locktite it but I don't want someone yanking on it with their feet on my fender! Think hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers and you get the picture....


I haven't replaced mine yet cause I'm sure it'll be gone again soon.

What about the Insight antenna? Does it work any better. I pulled the one off of my wife's IS300 and it fit. It appears that many other cars use this common size (Lexus, VW?, Insight, Celica...) Is there one that gets better reception that doesn't look like a ham radio tower???

If you check out the VW Passatt forums, you'll find that a very common mod is to replace the VW antenna with the S2000 one.

Maybe we should purchase a couple hundred of these at around $14 each, setup a website called www.s2000antennas.com and sell them for $50 each to ricers Of course we'd go around to all the rice boards and advertise...

I "lost" my first antenna about 6 months after buying the car. I bought two more and now keep a spare one in the basement.

So far so good. I still have the original antenna. After reading about all the stolen ones, I'm pretty paranoid about the antenna now. Everytime I get back to the car, I make sure to see if it's still there or not.
