Er................"cut" the antenna?

Is that a good idea? won't it reduce the signal?

hehe..... that's gonna be hard to find these days...... :D isn't it a bit too short?

[bigdongers]

will the CRV or MDX antenna fit? I gotta try it one day as I have a CRV and my partner has a Jazz VTIS :) Her dad has a MDX so I can try all 3 haha

[Philip Lee]

well (latest) CRV ones fit but not perfectly. apparently the older CRV ones fit better.

Hey,
I did the mod! ... Looks really cool now. But one thing bad is the rubber nob at the end of the antenna is stuck or glued, you can't take it off. When i tried getting it out, i ripped it into two pieces. I still went ahead and cut it and just super glued the rubber piece together and look normal now. :)

Also, the picture provided for the DIY mod, the rubber part is longer than mine?? I got VTi-S. The rubber on mine is short, about 1cm, the picture shown is about an inch long...

Well anyway, it's done and looks great and quality still the same, even under car park it was still receiving quite well... probably not for distance.
