Default Where to get a shark fin antenna

So I have a 2006 GS300 which did not come with the shark fin antenna, personally I think it completely changes the look of the car. I want to buy one for my car, it doesn't even need to function I'll superglue it if I have to (but i'll probably just get it installed correctly). Anyone know where I can get a genuine lexus antenna (mine is black)

Ask Darell at Sewell Parts. He's a CL vendor and can find anything you need.

Thanks guys! Mine is actually new never used

PM me if this helps you out or you have any questions. Its boxed up and ready to ship

What is your color code? I can see if I can trade if they make it in your color. If not I have someone that can professionally paint it for an additional cost.

your correct so they dont make it in your color so it would have to be painted. I will ask my buddy what he would want as a side cash job. You can let me know if you want to paint it or have my guy paint. He has painted full cars and parts for many of the local Chicago group. I stand behind his work.

I will PM once I hear back from him.

Thanks!
Mike

if you just want it for the look, flatten the bottom (if not flat already), paint, and use 3m industrial grade double sided tape

^ I agree. depends on what your intention is looks or to actually use it.

If you want it for XM/Sirius then I would have your body shop install when they paint it.

I would make it flat and use 3m double sided tape then. No reason to drill a hole unless you want to pay for it.

We have 2 locals that have them taped on with no issues.

Does the tape leave anything or damage the paint if it comes off?

no, if you pull off the shark fin later on carefully, you can just rub off the residue away with 3m adhesive remover or maybe alcohol
