ugly antenna!

microsweper · Jul 5th, 2003, 11:41 PM

im about to put on a body kit as well as some other mods and i just noticed that the factory antenna is the centerpiece of uglyness for this car (sentra B14) anyone have any suggestions? i thought about maby finding a 2000 civic antenna and swaping it (for anybody that dosnt know the civics antenna is run to the rear window, dont ask how! ) if i did that though i would have to shave off the existing antenna how would i do that? o well tell me what u think thanks!

why dont u just get a shortened antenna, u can buy one at autozone for like 7$, like me

its actually smaller than what it seems to be in the pic

you can always shave it and replace it with a power antenna in the rear just like asian-spec b14s.

if u are doing a whole kit then i would say shave the front antenna and get one of the roof mount ones, like on the VW's.

but easier would be the shorty rubber antenna. i got mine off ebay for about $10, give or take. looks good and bends with the wind (looks like the car is going fast even when stopped).

yeah I bought the one from a jetta on ebay for $35 I just have to install it. I hate that big ass antenna our b14's have. So microsweper mount your antenna on the roof.

you can always do a power antenna install, check out my writeup section below.

I got one of those cell phone style antennas, it really short and curls in the middle, I think it was like $10 at autozone, but I'm shaving it, and putting an antenna that mounts onto the window in the inside.

Don't you guys know that our long ass antennas give us an extra +10hp???

Hehe, yea just replace it yo. I bought an APC one from AAP and slapped it on there. Looked good but it didn't work worth a crap. Going to buy another one soon.... something other than an All Products CRAP (APC) antenna

OK....heres what I did to be different. I got an antenna off ebay and shaved the factory antenna and relocated y new antenna to the roof. Fits perfect and that antenna I got is a high powered one that gives me better radio receiption then the factory one.
Just look for the 'fuba roof antenna'.
PM if you have any questions. I have some pics but mine may be hard to see...my dig cam sucks

I never listen to the radio....

depends on the shop u go to, and whether u have hook ups, i'm not sure how much it would usually run but they would charge me like 40$ to shave and paint(100$ or so) because my paint is hard to find, but i would get some more stuff painted to make use of the paint, plus more work for him means better price for me

Mine was $100.00

That was for the fender, shave, paint, and install.
