second pic down w/ the blue and silver celicas. the 7 inch black antenna = s2000 antenna.

if you get it make sure you secure it w/ loc tite or something b/c my first one got stolen!!

thanks guys...
anywayz how much does it cost you to install one of those???
looks pretty small

you install it yourself

Just go to a Honda dealer and ask just for the antenna , and it won't cost much. The exact price depends on where you live. You can then install it yourself.

dont you have to drill any holes ???

Nope, just unscrew your stock antenna. You might need a wrench for that if it's too tight. Then screw your new antenna in. You would probably want to put some loc-tite on the threads like Pete00 said to prevent theft. For some reason or another they tend to get stolen. (That's pretty low if you ask me to steal someone elses antenna...)

amen to that.

or you can go to your toyota dealership and ask a mechanic to take out your stock antenna with one of their special tools. it will literally take them 1 minute and they shouldn't charge you anything!

ermm but the stock antenna is on the roof... how do you not drilll any holes to install the s2000 antenna at the back?

from your profile it says you have a 2001 celica? b/c here in north america the 2000 - 2002 celicas, stock antenna is at the back and can be replaced by the s2000 as seen in the pix above. our 2003 model the stock antenna is coming out of the roof.

ermm sorry to tell you that i dont stay in america or canada... i'm from australia.. and the 2001 celicas here are different... the stock antenna is on the roof itself

In that case I don't even know if you can replace your antenna with a s2000. Where is your antenna located, do you have any pics of your car?

If I use loc tite, how do I get the s2000 antenna off and replace it if it gets mangled because of the scum who tried to steal it? (Yeah there's a lot of f&^* up people where I live.)

ermm yea i have a pic but i dont have a webspace to upload the thing to

i assume your antenna location is in the same place north america's 2003 antennas are.

here you go... pic of the celica antenna that i have

from the look of the pic it looks like you already have a short-lil antenna on your roof... why you wanna go to the trouble just to get a s2k one on the rear? personally i think yours looks better...

yeah, you dont have to change it, it looks nice the way it its right now...

PETE...maybe I have misunderstood something..but the 2003 antenna is sure as hell not on the roof. Its in the same place as 2000-2002.

Do the Canadian celicas have the antennas on the roof? The reason I'm asking is because Pete is from Canada

in 2003, the antenna is in the same place so i dont know where you heard that it is on the roof. the only difference is that on the GTS it is a power antenna so it only comes up when the radio is on. and on the GT its just the normal antenna like it has been since 2000.

rightt... well it looks ugly to have a long antenna on the roof... so i was thinking to have a shorter one like an s2k antenna which is at the back... hmm well since its gonna take too much trouble installing an s2k antenna i'll just leave it the way it is
thanks anywayz

Celica in Japan also has an anttenna on the roof. You can change it easily...
if you like this.

Its an anttena for altezza in Japan.
