Default Shark fin antenna ...Yes or No ???
Just want to see how people like the shark fin on their GS. And if you don't have shark fin, did you install one and how to install one ???

I like the look. I don't think I'd pay for one to be installed if I didn't have one already though.

Cool. Would you post DIY when you're done with this mod? I love to install one on my car but not sure what to do.

LooooooooooooooooooL funny. I like the fin. I purchased one but can't find a shop to paint it for me. They all look at me like we don't have time for it and if they do one guys said $80. I told him am not asking for my hood painted, just the fin idiot. SO its still in my golve compartment.

Yeah man there are 2 on Ltunedparts.com. A unpainted one and a CF one.

Here is what it say's on the site:

If you like to add the look of the shark fin antenna to your IS or GS, this is the item for you.

Mounts via 3M tape - (NON FUNCTIONAL ANTENNA - UNPAINTED)

Here is something interesting, while I was in Taiwan I noticed that most of the Lexus do not have "Shark Fin" on the roof!!!

So I went to one of the dealership and ask them, they told me that the only the ones equipped with "LEXUS-LINK" would have "Shark Fin" on their roof.

I only wish I can get one here without the "Shark Fin," but it cost over $90,000 USD for a GS350 in Taiwan!!!
