your getting ripped off on the shark fin paint. I had mine painted for 75 dollars for Matador Mica Red.. they let me know that that paint is super expensive but only 75 bux

I could be wrong, but the code for silver paint is 1F2. If you're painting the top black, shouldn't it be a different code?

1f2 is your mercury metallic, you can look here and pick a black

My guess is that you got an 07 black antenna, you prob need obsidian

I am surprised you are not doing rims before this mod...those 17s were on my car for like 2 days ...hah

The $350.00 is to paint the rooftop.The fin was ordered black from the dealer.
