Stock Evo IX MR Antenna
When I bought my car, it didn't have one and my radio doesn't pick up stations very well at all. I figured i'd just get one off ebay but all I see are these:

http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trk...All-Categories

My question is, will any of these work? I know many think the antenna looks funny, but I like listening to NPR(i know, i'm an oldy) on long rides to work and such.

some of the ebay stubby ones suck, if you want a shorter one go with a Honda CRV/S2000 OEM antenna. Works great.... Other than that I have an OEm one too if u want it.

Out of curiosity, why are you selling? Just took them off and never listen to the radio?

Most shorty antennas will affect reception.

Any WTS posts will result in infractions - consider this your warning.

My OEM Evo one looks the same as the one on my sisters 04 corolla, probably the same thing, maybe other cars use the same one too.
