Antenna ?

[l2 I C H A I2 D]

Has anyone w/ a 99-00 Si shaved off their antenna? just curious.

I'm curious about that too. I want to shave mine and install a VW antenna right above the rear window.

i havent but i think it would look real nice if it was.

They look like nice shaved, but they are a pain to shave(if you do it properly. They have a huge think piece of hallow metal that runs down the side of the a-frame of the car. You would have to remove this or cut it. To remove good luck. Also you would lose reception with the radio. i just disconnected mine on my teg and i get horrible reception. It does look really nice though. But remember it will cost you a bit to do it. You would have to have a piece of metal welded in place of the antenna holder and then have it smoothed out with bondo and then re-painted, i personally think it is not worth the money.

Thanks Tadateg. Ill guess ill go ahead and do it anyways. the Si's just look kinda weird w/ the antenna sticking out like that. But is there anyway i can get like the x-ray type thing that the new ludes have???

I dont know if you know that you can slide it all the way down inside the A frame. That way it dont stick out a mile. I have mine pushed all the way down most of the time.

There's a thread on SHO in one of the Civic forums (not sure which one).. Just do a search for "antenna" in any of the Civic forums and you can probably come up with it.. One of the members gave a pretty detailed how-to on installing a VW-style Fuba antenna on a Civic..

I know that, but there is still that black thing that sticks out.
