Yup just finished on mine and ive got to say it looks great! one thing i did do different was. That i didnt even buy the bolt i just put everything together! think it looks better cuz its all black and looks like one piece! Maybe this could be our trademark or somting all tt-cc members have the S2000 antenna or somthing like that!

Thx for everything phi!

and phi that question regarding my bumper.

i have decided to get a front body kit right now! and then later to finash the whole kit!

Yea i live in niagara falls

and cant wait to meet u guys!

Kamuri that sux eh! The guy at toyota said that they dont have n e in toronto nor vancouver!

u think Phi got the last one?

but i was thinking dont these antenna seem a little to easy to steal. Like common all u have to do is twist them off! so i came up with a temp solution kamuri for us "no nutz"
no pun intended! lol

What i did was put the whole thing on put instead of putting the black thingy on then the antenna what i did was screw the antenna on then put the black thingy over top of the antenna and pushed till it was flush with the car! Now its a hell of a lot harder to steal it! the black thingy only cover a small little peice of the antenna, but i think it is better than just having it sit there u know what i mean!

comments?

Hmm this is funny cuz this afternoon when I went out I saw few Camrys in the parking lot and I just thought &quot;Hmm, I wonder how long will take me to unscrew the nut and nobody will see me doing it!!!&quot; :grin: But of course being the president of TTCC how can I do this to another Camry owner out there?

I just hated the fact that when those H&amp;A boys got their emblem stolen, they just go and steal the others. That's just pure evil.

The nut is the chrome thing that is visible. Its function is to hold the sub-antenna and the ornament snug against each other to avoid water leakage into the trunk. So my suggestion is that everyone get that nut.

As for the thread lock, haven't got it yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Does the antenna really fit with the nut attached to the sub-antenna? I tried it on mine but it won't fit because the nut is too thick. :sad:

As for waterproofing I think I have an idea when I go to HomeDepot tomorrow. :grin:

IMO the antenna looks better without the silver nut. :razz:

So anyway, if anybody wants the Celica NUT, email me and we'll talk. (The item is been long back-ordered from Toyota.)

Use lock-titeor something like that on it works good it will never come off when that stuff is dry.You can also use metal gasket sealer cause it bonds like mad.

Hey Nik, I'll be picking up some thread lock, which is like a glue. It shouldn't screw up the reception. I hope you can come to meet us this Saturday morning at Brullen so I can show you the rims and you can use the thread lock then.

I'm glad you see what I mean about the nut making everything snug.

Dickson, as I mentioned in previous posts, you have to trim the base of the Camry &quot;ornament&quot; (black plastic).
