The antenna install is really easy for anyone to do. This is the antenna that I bought at a local honda dealership. It went for approximatly $38.00 CDN. Remove the stock antenna by turning it counter clockwise until it comes off. If you can not unscrew it, use a 8mm wrench. Carefully thread the new s2000 antenna into the stock Celica antenna base. You may want to put some "loc-tite" onto the threads of the s2000 antenna to prevent theft. Screw the antenna in as far as you can. If you want, put a cloth over the antenna and screw it in with a set of pliers. This way you will not damage the antenna. This looks ten fold better then the stock lighting rod that came with the car.

I bought my S2000 antenna at the local honda dealership and the guy asked for $30.00 but i got it for $24.00 and it does look a whole lot better than the stock lightning rod mentioned in the original message.

do you have power antenna?
if not and you are in the USA - then use a better tool and it should come off without any further troubles

i have the antenna that never goes down so i don't think its a power antenna. yea i'm in the usa and what kind of tool should i use? is there like a way to do it so it comes of easily.
when i was changing the front blinker lights, it was hard to take off the light bulb until i figured out that you had to push in the bulb and then twist it off.
does the antenna have something like that?

Just use an adjustable wrench and a little elbow grease
It comes off pretty easy, just turn counterclockwise

its about the same as talking on your cell phone with the antenna UP or with it DOWN.... it all depends on wether you are close or really far from the radio transmitter
I'm still getting radio signals from station located in Mexico - and I'm 250+ miles north of Mexico..... and I still get California's Santa Monica College radio half way to Las Vegas Nevada (over 200 miles away)

I have an '04 GT-S and agree with you about the 'lightning rod' ... my question is, does this work for a power antenna?
Thanks - S.W.

I have a 2003 celica with a power antenna. I want to change it to an S2000 antenna. I wouldn't have to touch anything or disconnect anything, right? If I do what would I have to do.And if I don't have to do anything I would just take out the antenna and replace it, right? Need some help. Thanks

this does NOT work with POWER ANTENNA unless you replace the ENTIRE BASE.

Hey,
I was wondering, where did you purchase your silver S2000 Antenna? All of the websites I've browsed through had only the black S2000 antenna available. I think the silver color looks great with your paint color. Thanks!

I'm having the same prob and mine is also a '03.
Which part should I try to screw off? I had an adjustable wrench (wasn't as good as it could be) and I tried latching it onto the black hard rubber part but it wouldn't budge.. the wrench kept on slipping and I think some of the rubber was scratching off. I tried to put the wrench to the silver coloured part but it was too close to the body and I didn't want ot risk scratching the paint. The wrench won't even grab the silver piece above the rubber.. and I looked behidn the light and there wasn't much I could do with that area..
Perhaps get a better adjustable wrench and try again on the black part that's in the first pic?

Here's where you unscrew it. Mine was on there pretty good, had to lean into it a bit.

Ah thank-you! I just went outside and removed it.

Excellent guide, 10 minute install, 25$US for the antenna.

I just bought a stolen Honda S2000 Antenna, however that's not my problem, my problem is that I had bought an antenna from Canadian Tire a few months back and the connector part between the antenna and the car is not coming out of the socket of the car. Any ideas guys?
