Does anyone else not like where they put the antenna? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Actually, in all honesty, it will get a CB antenna. But it'll only be on the car for long road trips.

Why did they put that damn thing on the highest point of the car? IMO that makes it stick out that much more. It should have been mounted on one of the rear quarter panels instead.

I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.

I never noticed the antenna until all the threads on here. Doesn't bother me though, I don't think I care where it goes.

That shark fin thing posted in this thread looks like a tumor. If anything, just get a stubby thread on antenna.

If you get the shark fin then you can look just like all the Hyundai out there!

For antenna performance. The roof provides a large ground plane too. The higher you get your antenna off the ground, the better it will perform.

You notice it right away. It does look out of place.
