    I'm on the lookout for a replacement radio antenna for my '02. Recommendations welcomed, especially those based on direct experience. I know that the OE is available, but pricey. Thanks in advance!

    Clarification: I should have said "antenna mast," specifically.

    A lot of people do the smaller 'shark antenna' style

    Thanks, but I don't think a shark will work on my car; the mount is different. I'm looking at numerous options that (claim to) screw right into the existing base. I'd like one that gets at least as good reception as the OE one. If anyone on the board has actual experience with subbing out the old antenna, I'd like to hear from you!
