Mine is from DS Auto. I installed mine with heavy duty double sided tape which I feel will never come off. There are some other brands that look more OEM that resemble Lexus style. At the time I bought this antenna years ago, I could only find BMW style shark fin antenna.

So from what your saying basically keep the sc bone stock? Coilovers werent " meant" to be on the sc, so is that a dumb mod? Rims? Body kits?

The shark fin mod is the exact same concept as any other mod you put on your Car. Something to improve the lOok or function of your car. I think it would look sick.

on my Acura CL type S, OEM has the antenna that is just a wire with a small antenna on the end that sits on top of the headliner right at the edge of the rear window. very discreet, no need for any types of fins or s2k mod or anything. I actually ordered a replacement OEM CL one to put in my SC since I disconnected the antenna's power source, so it doesnt go up and look stupid.

Not a big fan of the Shark antenna, atleast least not on the SC...I too like the corolla's antenna-looks good, and IMO doesn't take away from the car.
