Antenna, I need a new antenna.... Options

[d1zzydas]

So I just bought my Celica back in mid-January and the antenna was broken. I finally get time to check it out this week. The nut was so stripped my mechanic decided just to chop it off. From what I saw while I was playing around with it, it wasnt the stock power antenna. Anyways, I need a new one... all I have right now is a hole in my rear panel. The Toyota dealership quoted me some ridiculous amount for the whole assembly. Anyone know what would be a good replace antenna?

Yeah, mine looks very similar to WALKER's. I actually tried installing it first with a 6th gen base because I heard it was an option. Buuuut, I learned that if you want to cut a telescoping antenna, go with the 6th gen base. If you want an easy install where you just screw it together, go with the 7th gen base.

Since I already got the 6th gen base, I was able to use it's lower mounting bracket on the 7th gen base. I don't recommend buying both since it got kindof expensive trying both.

Anyway, here's the pricing breakdown:

Genuine S2000 Antenna: roughly $20.00 on ebay
6th Gen Base: $37.63 shipped from ToyotaWorld
7th Gen Base: $46.28 shipped from ToyotaWorld

I'll grab some pictures after I install my new gauge faces and finish the interior lighting to match. Might as well get them all at the same time.
