Put on my TOM's shark fin i got here.
Unfortunately it was dark by the time i finished so no photos yet :/

From what i could see though it looked great and its the cheapest shark fin i've seen for our cars

I'd recommend.

I feel the tow-hook view gives you more of a sensation of speed, and is more dramatic.
Tow hook viewpoint is way better. +1 on checking alignment with the app, it's key.

Damn that's one of the most expensive ones in the U.S. I wish I could get it for that price.

Drove the FR-S to work for the first time in a month due to snow. Feels amazing.

My daughter (2.5 years old) is still scared to ride in the FRS. Maybe she is too used to the friendly appearance and roominess of our XB she rides in most of the time. Great pic!

When she sees the car she will run up and touch it and say "hacheeee"

Those look great. Do they replace or go over the stock trim?

Good catch. I was worried keeping Wi-Fi on would drain the battery, but I realized if I take ten minutes to get it aligned on the tow hook mount, I can then turn Wi-Fi off and save battery knowing it's good to go.

Test video is processing now. My driving was awful though, it had been a long day at work and I was worried that the GoPro was going to fall off the mount...
