I'm tempted to order the shark fin for my car, what's the cost?

By the way, what's that on the fuel tank filler?

$68.00 US color matched to your car. http://ct200hchat.com/shop/2011-ct20...k-fin-antenna/

Exactly what Bob said, $68 from CT200hChat.com.

It's legal in CA to have whatever tint you want on the back windows, but illegal to have almost any kind of tint on your front windows. I usually drive with my front windows down anyways, so hopefully, no issues.

looks good and you don't have to worry about bending the stubby antenna, we had a CT customer come back to the dealership complaining about a bent antenna due to the wind

Dang, seriously? You'd think after VW started the whip antenna and those failing so quickly/easily, manufacturers would either design a more durable whip antenna or just do away with it all together. If they need a new antenna after a couple of months of driving, the shark fin it is!

Hi Matt_RN -
Same Question as Steve - what is the red sticker on your fuel filler cap?

Got mine from here and they matched the color perfectly. Delivery was excellent and the installation, following their instructions, was simple: http://visualgarage.com/
So black on any color looks like an after-thought whereas a matched color looks OEM.
