No fin whistle, just messing with Anita. They have some in stock that are painted or you can get one unpainted and have it done locally. The unpainted are cheaper.

yeah, if you can def take a birdeye view of it now, since you got it installed that would be amazing, im not sure if i like it off center or not. still cant decide, and my girl still has the rack on top of hers so it would def hinder the value of changing to this antenna. if she ever decides to take the rack off then I will def get her one of these.


she just needs to see a flint mica without the roof rack and i think shell be about it. so do we have any flint mica's without the rack on top???

Default Shark Fin

The base on my RX350 is broken. Can you show me how the Shark Fin wiring connects? How would I connect it without the threaded part of the base?

The internal fin antenna does attach to the base with a screw. If your base is broken but the brass screw hole is still present it will still work. If the base has been taken off you will have to remove the headliner to fish the wire.

Know this is a bump, but bought a generic black fin off eBay for our dark gray RX. Definitely a worthwhile “upgrade.” Looks much better than the stubby antenna even with it being on the right side. Just blends better with the roof rack
