Antenna Mod

Attached is a picture of what my antenna should look like. The previous owner had this antenna break on him and said that the previous owner did this rubber antenna mod. I noticed when I was at a XDC event not too long ago that another S4 FC in the parking lot had the same mod but his antenna wasn't broken. Is this a well known mod? Can anyone point me to what antenna this is or what company makes this so I can buy a replacement?

Thanks for the help though, it definitely looks like the one mazdatrix has on their website. I'll check out the local store though to see if they have the same thing.

dude, no disrespect but clean out that rain trap (where water drains out around your window) A little preventative maintenance against corrosion. Also It looks clean when you pop your window.

I had that antenna on my first FC when I bought it, and it was the worst looking 'mod' ever... It was curved backwards and eventually broke. After 2 more from Autozone, I broke down and installed a retractable power antenna...

They were under $20 from Autozone.
