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... Attachment 42373 Attachment 42374 Attachment 42375 You can easily see the difference in size... Attachment 42376 Attachment 42377 Attachment 42378 Here is the new smaller antenna installed... Attachment 42379 Attachment 42380 Attachment 42381 Attachment 42382 Attachment 42383 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!
