I have the Perrin shorty and like it a lot. Sharkfin is nice but I kinda like the subtle cue that my car is OG.

Lol.

I just like the look of a shorty over sharkfin myself.

For anyone who wants to go the other way and have an even longer antenna, I have the OEM Yaris one. Lol

I considered a shorty but I like the look of a shark fin better but so far none of the shark fins that are out have very good paint matching.

The CF ones on Ebay is even worse haha. Nowhere near close to the real CF

I think it's partially a color thing. To me the black antenna and base looks better on some of the other colors than it does on Hot Lava.

Always a Mustang...lol. jk.

I'm still looking for a shark fin antenna I swore I saw a super sharp one but I can't find images of it.

Beatsonic, Toms, Modelista, OEM. I think there was a visual garage or something but dont think they are around anymore

Charging the FR-S with the NoCo charger. Looks like a week of not driving/starting the car put the battery down to around 75% (charger only has 25, 50, 75, and 100% increments, so I don't know the exact percentage the battery is at).

Also, am I the only one who hates the new autoblog design? It has rendered it unreadable.

Yep, it's awful. Can't really go to the site anymore unfortunately.
