Carbon Fiber Shark Fin?
 
So, I'm swapping out my trunk to a CF one with a CF wing. Also grabbing a CF wrap for my roof to keep a look of continuity.

I was wondering if anyone has caught wind of a CF or CF-wrapped shark fin that isn't of super sketchy origin? Some cursory searching hasn't yielded much of note...

Alternatively, does anyone have pictures of a black shark fin on a CF roof?

I'm just exploring my options.

Thanks in advance!

This would be my choice...

I wouldn't think you would get any reception if that was really carbon fiber. Enclosing an antenna with carbon fiber is the same as enclosing it with metal. It ends up acting as a shield for RF.

Interesting. Good to know, hadn't thought of that.

TBH it's a 99.999% aesthetically driven decision. I play music from my phone exclusively.

I'd get it hydro dipped. It's a pretty odd shape to be able to vinyl wrap without a seam or wrinkles.
