Any body got these antennas?

Came across this site, wondering if anyone have pics of these antennas on their rides.

Rick, I have the exact same one,and my reception doesn't suffer at all.I did notice after my first New England winter that the aluminum was starting to oxidize from all the road salt, so I had some one at work throw a few coats of alodyne to seal the aluminum ,MUCH better this year.

I use the Alta stubby that i bought from www.outmotoring.com

Reception is actually 'better' than stock. And looks 10x better.

Off-topic, I guess. But I've always enjoyed the MINI's toy car look. I've often thought I'd like to get a l-o-n-g whip antenna, just to reinforce the Radio-Controlled model car look. Then a "battery compartment" sticker (requires 4xAAs) on the rear hatch to complete the illusion!

I used a thread lock when I put it on. Maybe that messed it up?

I am not sure which antenna I have but it's a OEM Honda S2000 antenna and cost me $14.95 plus shipping from a Honda/Acura dealer.
