You are a gentleman and a scholar, hornet....We need to all ask for the Hornet discount since he has sold more of those things in 2 days than the mfr. has in 2 months!
I sent them an inquiry yesterday and had an answer in 2 hours. I ordered it last night.

The most important question nobody has asked is:

How is radio reception with the fin?

anyone know how you'd be able to take this off if you ever wanna go back to stock? And if it'll damage the paint? I emailed the company but I have yet to get a response back.

It looks like with care and patience, you could remove it...but the double sided tape is some heavy duty stuff.......

Here is what Visual Garage emailed me back with when I asked how i'd be able to take off the fin if I ever wanted to and if it'd harm the paint...

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your inquiry.

You can remove the sharkfin antenna by applying some heat, and gently but firmly rocking it back and forth until the adhesive looses. It is pretty much the same format as a lot of the door trims found on cars are mounted and are removable. You will need to purchase another adhesive, or have us replace the adhesive gasket in order to use on another car. Make note though, it will have to be another car that is the same, as the curvature on the bottom is different for each car.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Regards,
Arthur
