Default F Sport SE with spacers

Here is my 2012 F Sport SE I recently got. This comes with the blue springs and sway bars. Figured I'd take a few pics if anyone was wondering what spacers would look like on the CT200 with the 1" drop. I'm running 15mm up front and 25mm in the rear on Trident wheels 17x7. It is dead perfect flush, no rubbing anywhere. Rides and handles excellent. Not going to lower it anymore as this is my daily driver. Also added the shark fin antenna from juicedhybrid.

Real easy, I used some painters tape on the roof as a guide to get it where I wanted it placed. Basically a piece in the front, rear and all corners made it easy to line up when I placed it down. Used some of that goof off spray to clean the small area where I placed it down to remove any grime on the roof and the adhesive that is on the bottom of the sharkfin stuck real good. Haven't had any problems and it's rained bad here lately. No loss in signal quality either. I highly recommend. Took me about 15 minutes to do it.

Correct you don't have to remove the base. Just unscrew the antenna and this goes over top. This has a wire inside of it that you screw into where you unscrewed the factory one.

Did the antenna come painted? It seems like the same one from Visual Garage.

Yeah it came painted. Just select what color you need and it took about 2 weeks to receive it.

Nice work! I'm glad I found this after I ordered springs and spacers.. it confirms that my instincts were correct that the combination will look fantastic.

Also, nice antenna.
