Does it use the same holes in the trunk as the stock one, or did you drill other holes for it?

I had to swap my trunk for a spoiler-less one and make new wholes and cut two of the bolts off the wing to make it work but it fits great @zman

Not a fan of the shark fin antenna, i like the original more.

If I was keeping the car more than 4 years I would probably go old school, shave the antenna right off the roof and go with a universal retractable just behind the passenger rear wheel well. You can get ones that are almost completely flush when retracted and get better signal reception than stock when extended.

I like the OEM sharkfin, the covers are quite a bit larger than OEM... Then again, I might be biased.

I found this on some Chinese website. Basically it goes over the stock antenna on the '13 models . It's only like $13

I'd actually be less concerned with reception (which is fine on my no-name sharkfin from FuzionTeknique ) and more concerned with the paint-match.
