So I ordered the Visual Garage Shark fin antenna and finally received it today (They custom paint each one according to your cars paint code!)

Installation was a breeze! Literally took me like 5 minutes...

Before hard mounting, I checked my XM, worked fine. Called OnStar, Worked great (I even asked if he had my GPS location, he told it to me right away!)

As a RF specialist for the DoD, I was pretty impressed with this nifty little thing. In my inventory, we have 100+ Antennas that cover every frequency range from DC-30Ghz. I've seen an antenna or two in my day lol.

Anyways, here are the pics!

thats cool how it works,its just a cover

Eh, not my thing, I don't like the way it looks. Cool though

I love it! The antenna's like the one thing that makes these cars look "cheap." A brand new BMW 328i parked next to me today at lunch... cars look almost identical

Very nice looking. Can't argue that it doesn't look better than the boner sticking off the roof from the factory.

I've had one on my Mazda 6 since the 2nd week of owning it. It's my most favorite mod by far! The look is so awesome! I will also vouch for the fact that the reception is much better than stock.

Would you mind posting a pic of the side profile?

I'll take my chances, I've never been judged by a car antenna. If I wanted to look like a BMW I'd buy a BMW.

Usually when I pull into my garage, I lose XM for about 10 sec... yesterday I dropped it for literally .5 sec... I wish I would have done an RF profile on it Vs. the Factory one before I installed it

I'll try today. You just looking to see how tall it is?

I'm not worried about being judged. I just think it's retarded GM decided to overlook our cars in this aspect... considering half the other 4 doors they've been releasing have them.

looks pretty slick I think!

Agreed! I'm stoked!

That looks nice!

Waiting on the group buy to get mine. It'll look great instead of the dead branch sticking up.

[CHEVYCRUZE RS]

loooks good, but i love my stock antennna lol

 

[dacruze]

I think i'll stick w/ my oem, but it does look pretty cool, kinda like one of those nascar camera's mounted on the roof to give you ride-along shots. - Dan

 

[FatKidsCruze]

Didn't think I'd like this, so I didn't join the groupbuy... Dang I wish I would have looks great and to me seems to make the car look modern/ high class.

 

[dbaydoun]

Just installed mine. I'm not too confident that the 3m type tape is going to survive the winter here in Michigan. I love how it looks. Fingers crossed.

 

[Xenocamry]

Looks good, I think you swayed be into buying one...
