I've been wanting to get a sharkfin antenna for my 06 IS350, but I haven't really found any sites that can help me in doing so. Any suggestions or help?
Why in the world would you want the BMW-aping shark fin antenna on your roof? It looks much, much better without the antenna. Save your money, and if you need to tack on something, put on a Lexon roof spoiler.

Well, you might want it if you actually want XM radio.
Your other option is a far more hideous looking antenna that most folks end up taping onto the windshield or something.

Just a FYI if you guys are looking for the OEM fins, you are gonna have to drill two holes on your roof, did u guys know that already??

I'll take the 'wart' of the small square antenna anyday over the silly looking shark fin. It doesn't look good on any car, imo, and especially on the IS where Lexus slavishly copied BMW.

Also, the reason why I would want one, is that 2006 is the only year with no shark fin.
So what? Nobody is going to think any more of you if they think you have a more recent IS than 2006. I can see if you are going to use the sharkfin to actually get XM radio, but to just stick it on to make your car look more like a 2007-2008-2009 makes no sense to me.

I had this issue with my 06 I put the oem toyota ant (from an FJ) on the rear deck next to the third brake light you can see it with the tint and worked just fine.
