Modellista Antenna Instructions
 

Does anyone have the instructions for the Modellista antenna in English?
I have the Japanese instructions and it would take some time for me to translate it.

Modellista Antenna Instruction Translation
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage you may do to your vehicle, this is just a rough translation from the instruction manual provided with the modellista antenna.
Page 3-2:

• Remove the genuine antenna.
• Measure the size of the base with the reference figures A & B, to know which adapter to use.
• Coat the inside of the antenna base with primer, using the double sided tape provided.
• Firmly attach the antenna base whilepushing the left and right sides of the adapter.
• Attach the convex portion of the antenna to the base.
• Align with the centre of the body; align with the marking sticker on the roof panel.
• After aligning with the body, place masking tape along the perimeter.
• After priming, remove the cover on the double sided tape.

Page 3-3:

• Attach the screw to the body with the washer provided.
• Fix to the antenna using the aligning ribs previously fixed to the antenna.
• Before securing the antenna to the body, make sure notes A ~C have been checked before fixing. Do this in a state of temporary fixing.

• • C: Make sure the antenna lead is secured into the cradle position as in diagram.

I hope this helps anyone in need and i will be installing the antenna within the next few weeks. :thumbsup:

Thanks! Just got my modellista antenna, but I have opti coat on my car so I'm trying to figure out the best plan of action. Did you have opti coat on your car?

No opti coat on my car, but the double sided tape on it should hold up just fine, lots of opti coat appliers have put on fin atennas after doing it and theres been people put on spoilers also.

Any idea if this will fit the BRZ?

USDM BRZ - Nope. Rest of the world - Yep.

The US antenna base is to large for the Tom's, Modellista or "normal" sized Beat Sonic piggy back antennas to fit.

VG and Beat Sonic make one that is large to accept the US BRZ antenna.

I like the modellista the best, regardless if its so pricey but since it won't fit the USDM - guess its RC style for now in hopes of someone making a USDM alternative to VG or Beat's.

Yep. I yanked the factory RC antenna and stowed it in between the ceiling/roof. I plugged the hole with a color matched Legacy antenna until we find out more about the JDM BRZ version.

Damn, are those hail dents?

Yes hail dents, it will be in the panel shop this week getting repaired.
Just a note to evveryone, if the bonnet gets enough hail damage id advise getting a new bonnet because aluminum is very hard to fix hail damage on.

The bases I got with mine do not fit my antenna... are the antenna bases different for each country? I bought my FR-S in Canada.

One of the base pieces that came with it, fits width wise, so I just stuck it on there as best as I could and it ended up working out fine, I've only had the antenna on there for about a week, but its on there pretty good so far no issues.

So has fitment been improved on these? I like the look of this one the best and want to know if it will 100% fit properly on a CDN version 2013 FR-S???

Where did you get your modellista antenna from. ebay is selling it at ridiculous prices. $256 for painted plastic "ain't nobody got dope for that!"

LOL! Help me shed some light here?

Cheers! :D :respekt::bow:

Sorry i cant shed too much light, I got it awhile ago from ebay when the aussie $ was strong. cost me like $200 shipped. Still expensive but thats typical for modellista

Definitely pricy butt damn that looks sweet! Does anyone have any idea if this modelista antenna will fit the FR-S? California edition lol..

Looking to fit one of these on my Whiteout Monogram. Is this a direct replacement and if so are do they come painted?
