Beat sonic shark fin..off centered?
So i installed the fin and it took like 5 minutes, but I noticed that it is off centered with the toyota logo. not sure what is up with that because you can't really mess up from left to right since it sits on the OE piece. Anyone else notice this issue? sorry for the large pic. the fin is more to the left of the emblem

I think it's just an illusion. It would be hard to tell from the picture, since you don't have the Toyota logo perfectly center (if you had taken the picture a few inches to the right, it would look lined up)...if that makes sense.

Could the Toyota badge be off center?
My dad and grandfather had matching Altimas -- same color -- and you could tell them apart because the badge on my dad's was slightly off center. |

Toyota emblem should be centered since there's pin holes to line them up, it was probably your base antenna, when I installed my shark fin I noticed that my base was slightly pointing to the left when lining it up with the front emblem

It certainly wouldn't be the fault of Beat Sonic or the dealership if it is off center. It would fall on the factory build.

when i first installed mine i thought it would just sit snug with the OE piece so just put it on there without using that alignment paper that came with it. Well mine was off center. Since i am SUPER OCD i couldnt stand it and peeled it off and redid it with the alignment paper. now its dead center but since i peeled it off the first time the back side of my antenna doesnt sit too well there is a tiny gap. is urs all planted without any gap? again i am super ocd so little things bother me lol
