bet this doesnt fit USDM BRZs...

Seriously, what fits and works(all radios including satellite) on the BRZ? Grazio & Co? Modellista? VG? Sti?

The only one I know of for sure is the Beat Sonic but I don't like the look of it. Plus the SWP is not an exact match of color. Price is not an issue if I can just get a good looking one with full functionability.

You won half the bet. It doesn't work with the OEM USD antenna, but brings a replacement base that fits, BUT you loose satellite radio.

So does that mean Beat Sonic is the only one out there that will give you full functionality for the US model BRZ?

Yep, the Beat Sonic Antenna will fit over the USDM base and give you 100% functionality. I can't attest to the radio reception though. You would need to ask an owner.

Anyone got pics of this installed?

Reception is top notch , and the paint color is pretty darn close no one can tell at all. Regular hd and sat work perfectly with the Beat Sonic fin.

Nope. It will not fit over the USDM BRZ base.

You might be able to uninstall the OEM antenna and then reinstall under the roof in the roof liner like I did with the Legacy Shark Fin Antenna. Then you could just have the hollow BS antenna installed on the roof. I would be really worried about rain water leaking through the BS antenna though.
