Visual Garage Shark fin antenna - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

infinite012 · 08-08-2013, 10:38 AM

I've had the antenna that OMNOM bought installed since February (~7,500 miles on the car at the time, ~25,000 miles now).

The antenna has physically held up well, but the fitment over the stock BRZ antenna base is terrible. I have had to remove and reinstall twice, each time ripping off the existing double sided tape and installing new tape. Paint is in good shape (not excellent, as there was some orange peel since day 1), the structure of the antenna is in good shape (again, doesn't fit well, but it hasn't lost that shape over time...).

I was wondering how did you guys make your order, their sites down and it says it will be back july 1, and clearly it isnt. Any other way to get one?

How does this work with the stock Nav & XM on the BRZ?

Its not more difficult than a Beatsonic, if you want to, you can make your own template as I did. They also have instructions on their website.

I just got mine installed and love it, but it seems to be lifting off on one corner. Any advice for getting it to stick again? Should I just buy another sheet of 3M tape and cut it to fit?

The prices have really climbed up on these antennas since this thread. Anyone know any good vendors that can supply these? They're about 110 bucks shipped from what I can find online..
