Antenna
Need an opinion here. I broke my SL antenna and am currently looking for one. Does anyone think the $20 ones on Ebay from Hong Kong will be an ok replacement.

The $20 made in China ones on Ebay last about a month. The plastic is so crappy on the drive cord that all the teeth wear down, and then it won't retract/extent anymore.
Save your $20, trust me from experience. As to OEM parts, try autohausaz.com or parts.com. They are both much cheaper than the dealer.
