It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

Dang, this mast nut will NOT move
 . I already ordered a new nut and ornament, any drastic measures to take this thing out without scratching/denting my rear quarter panel?

Just use a pair of plyers. Should move with a bit of force. If your afraid to hit the paint use a towl or something to put around the antenna.

I was rusted in there good, finally just cut the ornament with an utility knife and let the antenna drop through LOL. Oh well, apparently I would have had to cut the ornament to fit the s2000 anyway
 . Ill post some pics when my camera charger finally gets here and I replace the ornament with a new one. And for the first time in almost a year, I have radio presets again haha
