A big thanks to @fteightysix for the new Beatsonic FDA9 sharkfin antenna group buy!
Product: The antenna itself seems to be a perfect paint match. I'll be able to tell more once it's sunny outside. The quality of the unit is absolutely stellar. There are zero gaps in the "shroud" that goes around the antenna. It sits perfectly flush. It's a really great look and fits the lines of the car better than any other sharkfin option I've seen. Installation: Yesterday, it was 79 degrees and sunny here in Dallas. Today, it's 27 degrees and currently snowing outside. Typical Texas weather for you... so I had to bust out the heat gun and all that crap to get the metal and adhesive up in the recommended 86+ degree temperature range. The install was very straight forward except for the template. I wasn't a big fan of it and decided to simply eye ball it with a couple pieces of tape in front of and behind the antenna with center lines marked. Pictures: Sorry for the iphone quality! It's all I have.

I've been contemplating changing the direction of interior of the car. Blue is kind of wearing on me a little. This is a horrible photoshop, but it's the same idea. All white lighting except very light amber, close to yellow, for the LCD screens on the gauge, the HVAC status LEDs, and the ring around the volume knob.

I'm curious to see what this would look like. Are you picking up another cluster or modifying your existing one?
