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.

 

$60 aint bad for color matched paint. to hell with ebay!

 

umm I think you just unscrew it.

 

some times its good to be ahead of the game for once

 

It's good to be da king!!

 

Well, got my invoice! Might be my first mod! ;-) Good job hornet! U DO deserve a discount from them! LOL!

 

just pay close attention to the online directions study the pics well in 'em will be well worth it!!!

 

The most important question nobody has asked is:

How is radio reception with the fin?

 

to me it has improved and/or just the same as stock antenna

 

funtional and good looking, a rare find for a body mod. Thanks Hornet!

 

I was wondering the same...good hornet? Any problems thus far?

 

no problems, so far so good!!!

 

Great find, I will be looking into this myself, christmas is coming up, and I have been looking for a functional sharkfin antenna for some time.

 

my car is up on there site now

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

 

Those folks are pretty sharp....
