hello fellow Honda ppl :)

ive recently had my car returned to me without an Antenna - by choice as you know.

Im looking to get a small Bee Sting type antenna... mountable on the back window perhaps.

Does anyone know what are the good brands and where to get them?

by small bee Sting type i mean small - 10cm MAX!

We usually get our antennas from a company called Aerpro. Their products are available from JB Hifi stores, Autobahn stores and some independent stores. I highly doubt they will carry the antenna that you are after in stock but ask to have a look at the Aerpro product catalogue and you should find your antenna in there.

Good Luck.

Just a thought, but what about one intergrated into the back windscreen. I know that some cars came stock with them so you might be able to find one aftermarket?

yeah ... like those 'mobile' cop antennas but just not as high... just plain and simple... subtle!

ah yeah... know what it lookes like now... but unfortunatelly it won't stick to glass... :P and I don't think i wanna cut holes in the roof after removing holes from it :P as I got rid of the aerial and the rear window sprayer.

Zdster - good antenna with wicked reception for the inside would be better - as to keep the clean lines outside. But Sam has one on his CRX and says it sux...

Oh, ok. I cant really remember listening to one of these work :o. Apparently from what I have read it also depends on window tinting and a range of other issues to get good reception from these units. Check out supercheap and all of those types of places as I do remember a while ago seeing a slim line antenna that stuck to the glass - although I am not sure how long they are.
