Default Sharkfin for 06 GS?

The 06 model GS doesnt have that little sharkfin above the rear view mirror like the GS350s do. Anyone know where i can buy this sharkfin and mount it on my 06 GS300?

oh and i would like to add that im doing it JUST for looks, not rearranging antennas or anything. I know that the fin actually has a purpose on the 07+ GS. so a dummy sharkfin is what i'm talking about

i think you meant rear windshield

for the sharkfin, i would look ebay, there should be some. you can also get it from dealership and cut off the base and then stick it on, but more pricey of course

Looks better without it. Double true if you're putting some cheap eBay knockoff on that probably will have poor fit and finish.

Don't add a non-functional sharkfin. It's pretty ricey, IMO. Lexus wouldn't put it on there for looks, they only have it there because it serves a purpose. Car looks much cleaner without the sharkfin. I would suggest a roof spoiler than a sharkfin if you really want to add something up there.

Just my two cents.
