If you want you can glue one on the roof like the VW ....people who got civics and accords do that all the time...what is that give you like 5 hp i think.

You're looking at the defroster or the feedback-amp. Yeah, it's painted into the rear window...like the Euro cars

try listening to a radio station that comes in sort-of, having rear window tint, then throwing the rear window defroster on... that's some static fun!

I like the antena on the S2k better.

I'm glad we don't have one.

I didn't notice it at first either..

the lack of an external ant is one of th best things about our car.. they must have been reading lowrider or something when they did our car.. hahah.. for real though no external windshield nozzels either.. our cars look so clean.. plus the ant on the 4th gen was an absolute *****... heheh

this is one of the reasons why I liked the lude so much back in 97.

Antenna integrated in the windshield.
No side door moldings.
Tail lights.
No difference in engine between the SH and Base.
Size of the car(seemed bigger than integs and civics at the time...dunno if it really is THAT much bigger)
