If anybody needs me to annotate the images, I can.
One small note, on transferring and attaching the FRS antenna to the G37 metallic base, I first attached a big glob of solder to the coax ground, dabbed a small amount of superglue to the sides of the blob, then heated the solder again down onto the corner of the base (see image with the number 779). The solder should maintain contact with the metal and the superglue should keep it from detaching from the corner where I placed it. Enjoy the radio and BT reception and have a badass slim antenna!

I went with the 2" stubby which I'm happy with. I do like the one you show here better than the shark fin.

Anyone try switching out the insides of a BRZ antenna? Will it fit inside the G37?

I said... BRZ, not FR-S. The antenna is bigger, which brings into question whether or not it will fit in the g37 base. I found the entire assembly on ebay for like $63?

I think it's bigger because of the satellite radio antenna. GPS antenna isn't on the roof iirc

I appreciate it. I'd go and experiment to see if it fits but I don't have the time with my work schedule recently. If you get stuck or need help, PM me or post here and we can try to figure it out.
