3rd Generation Gen3 Shark Fin Antenna

Well, pretty much got this thing for free with my eBay bucks. So I went ahead and replaced my stock antenna (that thing always seems to break) to the roof mounted shark fin antenna. I got the the stock antenna hole patched up, primered, and going to color match it tomorrow morning.

Not really feeling the cleanliness from the fin, rear window visor, and sc2 spoiler. So i might color match the fin to the rest of the body or remove the rear window visor.

You guys like it? If so should which route should I take to clean things up a bit

ps dont mind the garage, we just moved in

Color match the fin, wing, and bumpers and it'll be perfect.

Good to see you're still alive, man! The ride looks good. I don't mind the antenna for what you've got going on as your overall style.

the roof just looks weird, hmmm,,,, but no other place would loook good,,, hows reception with it? you COULD go for the evo 9 style fins to try and cover it up, but im not sure how well that would go.

ya thats what i was kinda thinking after i mounted it. seems like too much is going on towards the rear. I'm hoping color matching should just blend it in and it'll be better..at least thats what it looks like on other cars with aftermarket fin antennas. i'd say its about the same as the retractable ones, just i dont have to worry about it breaking as usual after a couple months lol.

eh the evo fins sounds like a cool idea, but it'd be totally non functional on my camry
