I was thinking that they were made of Platnium but I could be wrong.
Anyways if you are worried about your antenna being stolen I would suggest taking it off when you park the car and putting it in the trunk or inside the car. But that is just me.

100 bucks plus installation - minimum of one or two hours at 65 bucks an hour? is that what Gillman would have charged?

Trevor over at handa-accessories.com can get you any North American Honda part out there - they are a dealership and very accomidating.

that is insane...labor to put on an antenna?? maybe 5 minutes tops if you are verrrry slow, I have done one in about 30 seconds.

Even with a broken antenna and drilling out the screw, you could do it in no more than an hour.

Hmm. Too bad the antenna is so short.

The mechanics there are obviously not very bright. I think they charge so much because of the labour. It takes 10 of them to fix it. One to hold it still and the other 9 to screw the car onto it....

The price they quote me was for the antenna only. They must be stupid if they think they are going to sell any.

Go to H and A as discussed above.
Suggest you buy 2 or 3 at a time; between theft and breakage (kids love to torque on the S2000 antenna and it breaks inside) you'll be replacing the antenna every 6 months anyway. At $15 per not a big deal.

Get the billet aluminum one from RM Racing- it looks GREAT and screws in tight.
