Is anyone willing to post the Celica Sub-antenna (includes bracket) - PN 86309-20300 and Celica antenna nut - PN 86396-20030 to Australia? (via ebay/paypal)

I'm willing to pay extra for your efforts. As they dont sell those parts down here in Australia (Our celica uses a different electric antenna) =[

The celica sub antenna and antenna nut were not available in Australia due to our celicas having an electric antenna whereas the ones in America didnt. Adam (ASG14) kindly shipped the sub antenna and antenna nut for me.

There was one problem though - the celica sub antenna was not a straight fit for the gen4 due to the angle of the mounting hole being different for the gen4 camry vs the celica/gen3 camry (gen4 is nearly vertical whereas the gen3 is nearly horizontal). Had to modify the sub antenna by grinding down/cutting the mounting face (the bit of the antenna top plate that touches the antenna hole from the inside of the car). After that everything was pretty straight forward.

The result: Reception is pretty decent too, not as good as the stock antenna, but im not complaining considering the huge improvement in asthetics.

So, I read that model year 2000 Celica antennas are what we use for this mod. Would a 2004 Celica antenna still work since it's part of the same generation?

Does anyone know how your suppose to bend the bracket to that shape? The only thing that comes to mind is putting it in a vice and hitting it with a hammer.
