My 91 had one already installed on it... looks great (IMO)
I'm not sure where the previous owner purchased it, but it looks just like the Shark Attack II, $36, on the link provided above on a previous post by XO-NSX, under antenna's

They even have a picture of one on a Red NSX on their page.

The thing that impressed me was that they had an install page specifically for the NSX.
Not that I'm ready to give up my fishin' pole.:redface:
Just ordered one myself.:smile:
get shark
don't ever look back
..... btw, now i think the shark top part/mast is a bit too big, do they sell smaller antennas/masts? ....

I finally ordered one. :smile: I am really getting tired of the "remote control car" jokes! :biggrin: Thanks for the reminder.... 
They definitely look more aesthetic than the OEM - though the OEM mast gives the NSX some dated character.
But the issue with the Shark antenna has been less than OEM quality reception as that is most likely inevitable given that the length of the mast dictates the strength of the signal.
The S2000 might give better reception, but I believe it needs a wider base opening to mount it on the NSX. Plus the S2000 mast is one piece, not screwed on like the Shark.
Its albout compromises. YMMV.

This site http://www.stubbyantenna.com has a lot of different low profile antennas to choose from. My cousin has used this particular one on his 350Z for quite a while now. Its made of aluminum and is 3.5" in length which is a fraction of the size of a stock 350Z antenna.

The Shark II I bought didn't work -- faulty internal amp. I need to return it.
So in the interest of time (shipping the car overseas), I went to the Honda dealership and bought the S2000 antenna. Expensive -- $170 for the entire assembly -- but it fits well, looks good, and works perfectly.

The S2000 antenna fit in the stock hole on your NSX? Previous posters have said that the hole needs to be bored out to be larger.

Interesting. Does it fit on the Shark base?
Greetings
I replaced an antenna that was about 2 inches tall with a Shark II. Both are amplified. The 2" antenna would not pick up very many channels or keep the connections as I drove to work. My Shark does not have this problem.

I like the Stubbyantenna site. I may get one of those short adjustable ones for my Shark.
Ordered a Shark, I'll let you know how it works, Thanks for the info, Bryan.
Reception is great as long as you hook up the hot wire on this antenna.
If not, the reception is horrible.
Very good! Thanks for the follow-up.
