So when I bought my celica the motor on the power antenna didn't work and they had a wire clothes hanger on something jammed into it to fix the broken mast. I decided to just relocate the antenna all together so far I have about $80 involved in this upgrade but I messed up one of the adapters so I have to buy a new one. ( disclaimer: I don't know if this will work on a car without a sun roof)

Out of curiosity, do you think a universal shark fin would fit over the original antenna location? Someone put a tacky generic on mine, can't do the S2000 mod. kindasad.gif

It's possible but if you do I would put a rubber grommet and possibly some 3m stick to make sure it Dosen't leak because the stock hole is kind of oval shaped

Alrighty. Main concern was curvature of the quarter panel. Just tired of having my flappy rubber RC car antenna.
