Where's the antenna??!!
I've noticed that FRC and verts have their antennas on the rear fender, but for the life of me, I can't find them on the coupes! Are they in the rear hatch glass?

As I understand from the original 97 showroom buyer guide, it actually has two antennas. One in the front windshield and one in the rear hatchglass. Mine work so great that I cant pick up AM radio stations and my FM is a fairly weak signal all the time!

aahhhh...I see.....How's the reception? I have an nsx and I get crappy FM reception (don't know about AM...never tried). I'm willing to bet its cause the car is so low, or something. Maybe its just my crappy antenna...

Ya think that might have something to do with where you live? I used to live in Lk, Orion had the same prob, but where I'm at now I get great receiption in my 04 coupe, course when I lived out there (in the 70's) it was alot different than now.
