I don't have a sharkfin (I own an 06), but I thought the sharkfin is for the satellite radio?

If I hang out on this website enough, eventually I'm going to be able to take my whole car apart.

Here's a few things I've seen people trying to do.

disable DRL's
disable seat belt buzzer
work around TPMS's
removing shark fin antenna

I guess you won't have a custom car if you don't do something to it....

I wonder how they look with the silver shark fin, because im not 100% set on the black roof and if i remove the vinyl i dont want the fin to be all miscolored.

I love the color-matching shark fin on my car. It's too cool, even though I don't have satellite. It's car bling.
