Those universal power antennas are CRAP. they don't fit properly at all, and fall out half the time (believe me, I know;))

An s2k looking one would look good, but in all honesty when my power antenna goes, I'm just going to shave the entire thing. Car looks alot cleaner without a hump for an antenna. (Besides, everything I have is on cd, radio stations around here are crap)

I would never go for the entire thing it is hard as crap to replace, I bought a new one and gave up but it could have been me. I didnt realize I could replace just the mast until after that. I just took the mast from the new one and put it on the old one and it worked. I got the antenna off of E-bay.

the mast assemblies should be like less than $40 from nissan, and are easy to replace in <30 mintues.

I bought a $20 one off ebay, and it's been working fine. It came with instructions and even a 'tech support' number.
