Shark Attack Antenna - Roof mounted!

I am very interested to see if any one has installed a shark attack or similar antenna on the roof of their sc. I am thinking of mounting the attached link (Shark attack 2) to the centre rear of my vehicle but would be interested in pics if any one has done this before. I have ordered the antenna and am just waiting delivery.

Looks odd on an SC..... I had one one my first IS3 and barely pulled it off..... halfway didn't. It's for newer car designs, the rounded older SC design doesn't cut it with a sharp angle newer antenna.

That's too bad you have already ordered it because I agree with OLT. It would look better where the OEM antenna is

I disagree. I think it blends well with the SC's lines. Also, the Shark Attack does not really have sudden, sharp edges. It is a more rounded shark fin antenna. It is big, but rather flat and has a low profile compared to some of them out there. Of course I am biased since I mounted one to my project.

Guys, I made a mistake naming the shark fin antenna cover on my car...SORRY

. Mine is not Shark Attack. I had a little surgery today...The damned drugs are messing with my clarity...

I agree that one does not belong at all. Being the wrong color doesn't help either...

Now I am going outside to burn it out of existence and promise the SC it'll never sit up there again for 5 minutes to have a photo taken.

I just clicked on the link. Now I remember why I said I have a Shark Attack antenna. I mounted the base amplifier under my Shark Fin Cover...

CL member LUXOR has one from like a BMW or something on his roof and had the old nasty ant. shaved. It looks really clean. Maybe he will come in with a pic?

EDIT: I stole this pic from him from one of his threads. I've wanted to copy it since I've seen it.
