I was very happy to have the antenna worked into the rear window in this car. It was always a pain in the @ss to take it off and put it on every time I wanted to put the car cover on.

Don't do it. Even if it was a working antenna, what would you use it for?

rice means a modification that is stupid looking or played out.

Yup, SungChiaoWu. Your feeling are accurate. It isn't something pc at all...
It's like saying something looks "ghetto" or "redneck"...
You might want to keep your thick skin handy, because people are gonna say it anyway.
And for my $0.02, it doesn't look rice: It's just ghetto...

Rice has nothing to do with Asians, I say it all the time to and I'm Chinese. Rice pretty much is when people put stickers and crap on their car thinking it's going to make their car faster or when they do things to their car in ATTEMPTS to make it look cool. That's RICE!
as for the antenna, I wouldn't call it a "rice" but definitely not something I would consider. The antenna in the glass is good enough and the antenna for the nav is one thing but to put one up for no reason, why bother?
But I guess to each its own. I know my friend has the Jetta and he wishes he didn't have that stupid antenna on top, even though he got the shorter one it's still there.

Ultimately badazzTL it's your choice. You asked for an opinion, I gave it to you.

How about a glow-in-the-dark fake cellphone? Or a new bazooka amp that looks like a nitrous bottle...
How retarded...
Ghetto means you are frontin' something you ain't got. Fake cell phones, fake antennas, garage door opener for a beeper...it's ghey...
And as far as rice is concerned, rice would refer to import cars driven mostly by Asians in the California scene who dictate a lot of the style for cars. People began to start saying that looks "rice" meaning stuff that ends up being done on a cheaper scale to look like the high-end stuff...
In the long run, it is derogatory. You are an idiot if you don't realize that...Ghetto, ghey, redneck, it is all the same...
I'm just not pc, so I'll say whatever...But you are a moron if you don't realize it...

ok well, if you say its rice, give me a reason, dont just be an ass and call it retarded just cuz you don't agree with it... not cool.
i didn't expect anyone to think this is rice since small antennas DO COME ON HIGH END CARS also.
no hard feelings tho.
EDIT: this was in response to NSXNEXT i forgot to use the quote button

badazzTL, do it and take lots of pictures.
What else do you want me to say? I think it ruins the lines of the car. Why not buy the Acura one? It's a bolt on antenna.

I'm sorry but I have to agree with NSXNEXT. If it was a functional antenna and you had it hooked up to a cell phone, satellite radio, etc. I'd be all for it. It has nothing to do with how it looks, it has to do with the fact that you are adding a nonfunctioning antenna without any purpose...
IMuHO, it's like a redneck with a 99ft CB antenna with a tennis ball at the end smackin' tree limbs and no CB!

This is something that i wanna get too. i am more leaning towards the one that are on the 3.5 something small unlike the Is300 . I think it would look real good . Forget the people that says it looks rice these are the same people sporting body kits i mean how does a body kit help you in getting reception ? but it makes the car look real good . Maybe its a matter of opinion if you got nothing nice to say about it then why not skip it instead of putting useless stuff. Now the favourite line " I got an opinion too and i am gonna say it ".. Whatever.

I'm pretty sure a forum is where you discuss things, not where you go to get a bunch of yes-man replies. He asked a question and people answered it! I personally don't want sat radio simply because I'd have to add the antenna. feh.

Oh and as for the the antenna on the RL and TL, they are for OnStar, not for the radio. Oh but you knew that.

Wait, you want to stick a fake antenna on so you can look like you have Onstar? That doesn't even look like the onstar antenna. You can do whatever you want bro, its your car, but if you want something like that, why don't you try finding those fin shape antenna you find on Bimmers. That would look better then this antenna. BadazzTL did you check the post where you asked about the blue tint side mirrors? I provided a pic showing you how it would look tinting it.

NsxNext: i think you just completely overlooked my point. I dont wanna show off like i have onstar or some cell phone gizmo that needs reception the only purpose was that i like the way it looks to me its not ricey. My point is simple the body kits dont do nothing for the car except enhancing the look in my opinion the antenna might make my car look good too.

fuba style is just for look with no function at all. but do u guys know that there are something called anti-shock antennas & which are fm japan. the purpose is to prevent shock when u open/close the door especially in winter. i put one of those on my 2002 tls & stick it on the exact same place where the 2003 navi on-star antenna is. to be honest & i'm happy with that.

It's your $10.....do what you want with it. It's not like you are breaking the bank and putting on a kit, or something expensive
You asked for everyone's opinion and they gave it to you....did you expect not to get negative feedback??
