But for ease I will copy it to here...enjoy
Hey folks, I did a little how-to this afternoon about installing an s2k antenna on your accord. I did this a year ago on my 91 EX, and have had NO problems ever since. The reception is still the same, and there is no water leakage in my trunk because of this. If you find that your reception is a little bad, you can get a booster from Radio Shack.
Here is what you need:
1. The sexy S2k Antenna
2. An install kit made for a DC2 integra. I bought my kit from user "RStoR" and it has everything you need to install. If you are feeling DIYish, you can source all of the parts from Home Depot. The kit I got from RStoR cost me about $20 if I remember correctly, and it includes instructions. The only thing that you might have trouble making on your own is the wire piece. Anyway, here is what you need.
3. The rubber insert and silver nut from your old antenna set-up.
First step of course is to fix yourself a drink or puff one down. Second step is to remove the old antenna. I had a power antenna like most other Accords out there:
Now you are left with this gaping hole:
Now you are going to want to start piecing your kit together like this:
The PVC pipe part goes on the underside of the body, and the part you saved from your old antenna goes inside of that from the top of the body...
Now one side of your PVC is angled, that is to match the contour of the body. You can see how it is going to fit together:
Start trial fitting everything in place minus the antenna:
This is how it will start to look inside the trunk. Disregard the wire part right now...
