Installed my Shark Fin antenna from Beat-Sonic
I had an extra 15 minutes this afternoon so I installed my new Shark Fin antenna from Beat-Sonic. Easy to do and I think it looks much better than the stock black antenna.

Any difference in reception? Can I get one in black sand pearl? How's the adhesive stand up to a car wash beating?

ditto myself but i'm sure it'd take even the harshest scrubbing to loosen up 3m tape.

Made a trip over the Best-Sonic USA today to see what Eric and the boys were up to. They have a new front camera module for me to try out and they had a little surprise for me as well.
A smaller color matched shark fin antenna. This one works just as well but is a little smaller and has less sharp edges in the design than the first one I installed. Here are some pictures for comparison... [attach][/attach] [attach][/attach] [attach][/attach] You can easily see the difference in size... [attach][/attach] [attach][/attach] [attach][/attach] Here is the new smaller antenna installed... [attach][/attach] [attach][/attach] [attach][/attach] [attach][/attach] [attach][/attach] Many thanks to Eric and everyone at Beat-Sonic for the new antenna. I think it goes much better with the FIVE:AD body kit wing. |
They dont make it in the Burnt Orange color? I guess I could just get the carbon-fiber one if not.

I thought they did make it in Hot Lava. I'll ask Eric and let you know.

I spoke to Eric and he said the Shark Fin for the FR-S will work with the iQ. It's the first one I installed on mine. It's a little larger and more sleek looking. He does have those in Hot Lava.

as much as i like the look of the smaller fin antenna, $120 plus shipping is a bit pricy for my wallet.

Looks GOOD! Wish they had one in Hot Lava.
|
Oops. Missed the end of the thread. Just ordered one!
|
Just for the record, Visual Garage makes shark fin antennas that fit the iQ, painted in all stock colors, and have room to fit a satellite radio antenna underneath without blocking signal. Looks great on my Hot Lava iQ!

Shark Fin Looks Great!
Way better than the remote control car look!
