got rid of my crappy antenna today... put in the S2k

[brungold]

so the little plastic gear in the antenna's motor wore out finally in my gen 3.5, so I got an antenna for the S2000 from eb@y and put it in today after work... i was suprised how dayam easy it was! 20-30 min job, and it works well.
my roomie said its "cute".. dayam i ate that word, especially when its about my car!

anyways, easy job, the amplified antenna was about $30 shipped... i think this was the easiest camry "mod" ive done so far!

from the ebay pic:


Here's what it looked like in all its uh.. glory..


the antenna motor intact:


looks like a fishing reel doesnt it?


new antenna in, it kinda sticks out a lil, not sure if i like that


Finished product:


you like? if anyone has any questions lemme know!

looking good rich, my antenna is broken, maybe i shall do this sometime as well.... great mod and keep up the good work!!

[GaviN]

Nice.. My antenna is broke in half and just makes noise when I turn the car on/off.. Thats a nice mod.

[warlock]

if anyone wants one i have one. i was going to do that about a year ago but i just shaved the whole thing.
i will sell the s2000 ant. cheap it is just sitting here getting dust anyways!

i like it. is that real gray or is it just the pic?

[brungold]

yea its like a dark gray

[amerikim]

Slick.
It looks way cool.
How is the reception?
I was thinking of shaving but I am warm to this mod.
Not big on the stock rod & reel either.

[brungold]

reception is pretty good as far as i can tell so far..
i havent driven around yet, but a station that used to be fuzzy sometimes is clear now.. i'll be able to tell better tomorrow when im on the road...

Looks hot the way its slanted backward. Almost makes the car look like its in motion.

I love to do that to my car, but I don't have an antenna. Suppose to be in the back window itself. I wouldn't know how to put one of those on anyway

[Stealth]

I guess the bracket and what not is that it points straight up??

[I4 to V6 Swap]

Looks good Rich. I think it looks better than our stock one.

[terrastrife]

hmm. our antennas are at the top near the a pillar here (for mine at least), i always wanted to see what you guys meant with the s2k antenna swap now i understand =)
