I also have a VG sharkfin for my asphalt fr-s. $69 +s&h. Can't beat the price and has awesome quality. Great sound reception and easy install.

Is it just a cover for the OEM antenna, or an actual antenna?

I am wondering about radio reception since the antenna is completely removed.

One owner reported lowered reception when changing from the OEM antenna to the 1.5". If this is true, I am concerned about what is going to happen to reception when the mast is removed completely?

Three stories down in an underground parking garage... who cares about radio reception when you're 30+ feet underground?

I do! It's indicative of a weaker reception capability!
