Default 370Z Roadster Antenna

I would like to change the antenna. It's just plain ugly. What can I do to make it look better or have a shorter one yet still keeping a good reception?

Are there any roaster spoilers out there? I only found some for the coupe.

Which threads did you guys use to connect the 3" antenna? None of the ones that came with mine seems to fit. I'll try again later, but wanted to check here first before I tried twisting extra hard.

I don't know which one but there should be 4 of them if I remember right, it goes on easily.

Hmm, I only got 3 gold colored ones, plus 2 black washer/spacer things.

Yeah looks much better than the phone line pole that comes standard...

I would love a nice spoiler though too.

I just bought the same antenna and the darn thing works. Now my Z doesn't look like it's remote controlled.

Same here after a recomendation from another member that had tested several.

Spoiler? DO IT!!! Spoiler Solutions FTW. I can not say how happy I am with this spoiler, the fit, and the paint. Everyone thinks that this was a factory installed item. More pics in my albums...

Looks great. I will look into the spoiler. Do them come painted?

Yep, they gauranteed a color match to the factory colors and I was skeptical because of the unique properties of the Black Cherry. The paint matched perfectly and is flawless.

I am not going to lie to you though, it was very difficult drilling holes in my brand new car. I got up at 5:30 in the morning after not being able to sleep knowing it was sitting in the living room waiting for holes to be drilled. My wife said "I am glad I was asleep!" I told her it was about a three hour install. One hour for the actual work and two hours to get over the nausea.

I still owe you guys an DIY write up but I just haven't had time. I will get to it. Subscribe to my spoiler link a few posts below and I will update that with a link when I do.

Congrats and enjoy!!!
