April's Mod
Well Spring is in the air, and warm weather brings out the Modification bug in me.
I had to replace a sensor on the rear collision avoidance system, and since I had to paint the new sensor in my HCHII's body color, I decided to also paint the XM/FM/AM antenna on the rear roof of the car.
It always bugged me that the antenna came from Honda sans body color, and seeing the 08 HCHIIs with the XM antenna cover painted, I decided to paint the one on my car.
It was not much of a big deal to remove the antenna, it is held on the roof with just one nut, and accessing it is easy as the headliner is only held in by the grab handles, the door seals, and 2 pop clips in the rear.
Here is what the final product looks like.
What do you think?

Gary, you must have seen some 08 that had been modded as well.
Over here in Canada the 08's are exactly like the 06 and 07 models.
However, your setup looks very good !!!

Cool. Looks great.
Is that the standard antenna? Mine does not have the twist (the candy-cane look).
Since my HCH2 is a much darker color, I don't mind the black antenna and mount at all, though.
