Shark fin antenna
Does anyone have pics of the shark fin antenna installed on the 2nd gen GS? I did a search to see if anyone has thus far but I wasnt able to pull up any pictures on the 2nd gen. Would anyone laugh if I did? The antenna will not be functional because I definitely am not going to drill a hole in the roof plus I dont even have satellite radio. I dont want to get the cheap one from Ebay so I was thinking of just tearing one off a BMW. I wonder how much it would cost to have it painted. I was just kidding about ripping it off the BMW btw.

I have a dent from a tree limb or golfball or something dead center in the back of my roof and was thinking about this exact cover up (repair was quoted at $1000) because of having to remove rear glass etc. I also like the look of the JP one, but $120 for a non functioning antenna is a little tough to swallow. Easier than $1000, but I'd like to see the fin also.
I have to ask.........Why would someone want a non-functional antenna on your car??? Reminds me of 1986 when people were putting fake car phone antenna's on their cars. Not being a jerk...just curious why.

That is pretty ugly imho. I want something with an overall lower profile than that. But that is a pretty hopped up antenna. Do they mention the decibel gain for WLAN's? I wardrive for fun in my spare time
