haha i had a DIY on how i installed my shark fin =D on my 06

just so you know if you take urs off, there will be a hole on the top and you will have to fill out the hole and your antenna is actually at the shark fin too..... so no more FM and AM?

AFAIK, the shark fin is only for XM radio, it's mostly for decoration. I do prefer the clean look without it though.

Don't think so, because the 2006 ISx50 with navigation did not have shark fin.

Not the Chinese... they will all flock our way for some tasty shark fin soup.


On Topic, I love the shark fin. It looks yummy...I mean cool like BMW, Mercedez, and Audi. Basically, all the luxury cars have them now. I don't wanna feel left out.

No no no. The BMW, Mercedes and Audi look cool like LEXUS.
