i think the stock is the better looking out of all the ones ive seen. the stubby looks like a severed pinky and the sharkfin looks too chunky especially at the base

The Beat-Sonic Shark Fin is just a personal like with most people in my opinion.

I hate the "RC Car" look with a passion.


Here's mine....

I second @TRD-X (our cars are twins, for real)! I don't particularly hate the "RC" look, I would just prefer not to have that look.

I'm kinda partial to my VG SharkFin. I always preferred that over the BeatSonic and the others.

This is the same antenna that I have, but in Asphalt. I like the look of it better and like how its a little different then all the other FR-S's with the common Shark-fin antennas.

I got the VG fin too on my asphalt. I second it. Good paint match up and they are friendly and helpful over email too!

i wonder where this came from - RC car antennas look nothing like what's on the BRZ or FR-S.

however, our antenna DOES like like the one on an FRS hand held radio.
