Right boys n girls, got another little modification you for- JDM/short antenna.

Have been reading up about JDM/short antennas recently and I found that a OEM antenna off a Honda S2000 will fit the IS200. A quick search on ebay (US) and I found a new OEM Honda S2000 for $11- I don't know how much the same antenna would cost from a UK Honda dealer. Emailed the seller and he confirmed that the antenna for the S2000 will fit the IS200/300. Bought it and it took a week to arrive from the US.

Pics below:

The radio reception is the same as the OEM Lexus antenna- overall I like it.

well we all start the modding somewhere!!

I have the JVC HAL2 Antenna, because I have a DAB tuner and it has great reception for FM,MW and all DAB stations.

That does look good, so radio reception is exactly the same? That was always the worry with other short antennas, as imho the radio reception isn't great to start with.

Well I normally listen to R5, Talksport, R1 and a few local stations and the radio reception is just as good as the OEM antenna.

Hello mateys! Smile I'm here as well, I missed you.

I've read about the S2000 antenna as well, but there is actually a Toyota antenna that looks pretty much the same, often called TRD antenna:

That's the one I'm using
