I talked with the guy @ www.sharkfinantenna.com and he said it wouldnt be diffucult maybe an hour install and he could get me the part for $59 color matched.. not bad.
I guess moving the antenna wouldnt be too hard (cable extention, right parts), the real question is, do i really want to drill a hole in my roof (right?!). what about mounting the fin on the rear spoiler? (looking for something different yaknow, or is that too ghetto)
no i dont. (damn wifey :0) thats kinda why i started this post i was looking for options. (ps i knew that was ghetto but when you're sittting here thinking of ideas, the mind wonders yaknow)aye mate said:
I'm assuming it's held on by a magnet like the XM radios do. Does the sharkfin antenna have to be on the outside of the car? If not, just put it in the hatch where the jack goes. In that little compartment. It's very thin metal right there so it might work. But i dont kno much about radiowaves and what interferes with them or what gets the best reception.
I agree with "aye mate". Unless you could hide it, mount it under your spoiler or something, I'd pass. But then I'd still want to hide a stubby euro.
its held by adhesive and screws to a base roof mount (i was kinda thinking it would look good and all on the outside) but i quess we wont know till i try it with a dummy antenna and post the pics
