Converting to Power Antenna

I want to convert the antenna on my 98 RS into a power antenna. Jus curious to see if anyone has done this themselves, and if so then are you will to give some advice... Thanks in advance

Did the opposite, went from power to standard type, but a short black one on a black Eclipse. Take the trim out on the side the antenna is on and then the back piece that runs the lenght of the tail lamps, you have good access then to the area, how you are going to wire it I have no idea but I got you to the point of being able to take out the old one.

why would you want to do that,,seems pretty pointless to me like people are running out of things to do to there cars wow,my 2 cents

Im with him, why would you want a power antenna?

I think the power antenna is pretty sweet. That way nobody can come along and just snap it off because it's buried in the car. Plus, the car looks sexier without having a huge antenna always out, it gives the car a sleeker look. Go for it man, it's your time and money.

i would also just stick with your stock one b/c the power antennas are so big when the are up, and as for people snapping the regular antenna off, they can just bend the power antenna and then it wouldn't work, but i dont know why anyone would do that. My power antenna broke off in the car wash b/c i forgot to turn radio off, so i think im going to do what Carolina did.

The antenna goes down when you turn the car off, so nobody would have the chance to bend it unless you are leave the car running with the radio on etc.

lol good point..... :D

Do they sell those window antennas that look like a rear defroster as an aftermarket part? that would be sweet, i know my mom's accord has it, but i can't find any aftermarket ones. Anyone know if they make them?

I just took mine out completly. The car looks way better in my opinion without it sticking up. I get the same quality of radio so its the same without the antenna. Power antenna's have been said to break a lot. Anyways you are gonna sell the car so i advise you to spend money on something else, maybe a paint job or clean the interior so people would pay more for your car. :)
