Thumbs down Does anyone else not like where they put the antenna?

Personally I hate it I am going to take mine off as soon as it gets off the truck. I think it totally destracts from the roof of the car. Anyone else agree?

Beat Sonic will be here at our launch event to test fit their shark fin antenna. I'll post the results on Friday.

I'm surprised they didn't put the shark fin on as standard.

Honestly it was the last thing I noticed when looking at the car. I couldn't care less.

I like the RC look as well. The only one I like a hair more is a small square one that's color matched I'm not a shark fin guy.

not a priority, but maybe eventually change to a square rather than Shark fin. Cleaner finish.

I have found the shark fin to be more noticeable than the 'RC' Antenna... I never really notice the RC one....

I don't mind it. I more likely going to opt for the shark fin or shave the antenna off (if you know what I mean).

I was thinking more along going with two to get that aviation look.
