supra2nv's GT86 (inspired by 14R TRD Griffon, and a lil bit of NSX) - Page 27 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

If going shorty antenna here's what I have tried - stock, 4" perrin, 2" perrin and shark fin. I was collecting antennas for a while!

Personally I prefer the shark fin on my dark grey car but on lighter colours I like the 2" perrin or 4" perrin.

Same tip as with the valance - the black on the perrin antennas is a bit deeper black than the antenna mount. Mothers naturally black on the antenna base makes them match better.

Were you planning on removing the TRD diffuser and replacing with the BRZ one? Assume it won't fit with the TRD be left on?

Edit: I should still try it for giggles lol

Ps. I wouldn't take off the trd one no way no how it's a beautiful piece simply art

My 2c (and it's your car!) - you have had such attention to detail going Toyota and TRD for almost everything that can be seen outside the car. The BRZ diffuser would not fit in with that philosophy.

Nice! BTW I agree on the TRD diffuser. It is very pretty, especially polished up with some autosol metal polish!
