Default Weather Vain Antenna ?

​Anybody do something different with the antenna on the roof of the NX? Different color? Replace with something different?

No wind noise (at least none I can hear). However, the rooster crowing whenever I'm next to a BMW X3 or an Audi Q3 can be annoying. 🐓

Now I also am able to pick up many foreign radio stations, including all the Farm Radio Network affiliate stations.

Maybe I should have called it a shark fin.

The correct name for the part of the "airplane tail" to which you refer is called the "vertical stabilizer"...

Ok, ok, this was funny folks.

Let's move on and help answer the OP's intended question. Myself, I haven't done anything on the NX's fin but I wrapped the roof and fin with gloss black vinyl wrap on my IS. If my NX was any color but black, its roof (and fin) would be wrapped.

I like the vertical stabilizer ...... at least it gives me some ideas about colors that maybe useful. LOL Would be unique to have a known tail number. Small letters of course. Or maybe just wrap with graphite vinyl wrap?
