The pics from Ice aren't bothersome in terms of how it looks. My concerns with that installation would be reception (bottom of the window would reveal more sky) and the tape coming loose, especially in the constant heat of summer following by winter cold.

buy the parts yourself the sirius radio fit kit and all and shark fin antenna. comes to like $380. install it yourself. it's worth it. if you cant install it yourself ask a local video/audio dealer im sure they will do it for less then lexus would. it's not that bad to install. fluzz helped me now i can do it in less than 30min if the ac vents werent so hard to remove.

the sharkfin is ment for xm radio. therefore if you want to use the sharkfin you must purchase the adapter cable that will plug into the sharkfin cable thus utilizing the sharkfin for sirius use. i believe vais has that adapter cable.
only way possible. btw i use the sharkfin for sirius, it works well.

DIY or some other entity installing is not an option.
The only folks who are going to disassemble my dash are those at Lexus, lest anything go wrong or there is even a slight amount of peripheral damage.
For a few hundred dollars on a mid-$30K car, I'd rather have them accountable.

In my limited driving so far, the drop outs seem to only be in the same places they are for my Starmate unit with antenna on the roof in my other cars. if that's the case, it doesn't bother me as you can barely see the thing on the window.
It's great, however, having it integrated into the car unit and into the steering wheel controls especially.
LOVE the car. AWD, Smoky Granite, black leather, prem pkg, rear lip spoiler, all weather mats, no nav (plan on getting a small Garmin - the one in my Honda Pilot is great and I couldn't justify the additional 2 grand).
Programmed the homelink and used the tips from this forum to unlock all 4 doors when I touch the driver's handle.
