Visual Garage Shark fin antenna - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

EvoXDD · 08-04-2012, 01:25 PM

First I want to thank Visual Garage for being our first official sponsor and providing this awesome product for us to show off.

now onto the review, this thing is quality.....point blank period. It is color matched to perfection, i get better XM and radio signal, and installation was a breeze even without using the detailed instructions they provided. And you can't beat the price from what i have seen, especially with it being color matched using subaru's color code. please let me know if you have any questions about this sleek looking product, and check out Visual Garage to pick one up! Please refer to this review when emailing them!

sorry it is nasty outside and that is the best pics i can get right now.

Yes fits its actually like 75 bucks a lot cheaper than other shark fins

I tried to get a group buy going but lack of interested killed that

lbroskee · 08-04-2012, 04:10 PM

def gonna look into this then. cheaper then beatsonic AND a smoother shape? it's a win/win

jarviz · 08-04-2012, 04:31 PM

do you have full shot of the car?

Lonewolf · 08-04-2012, 04:38 PM

Yeah, a shot from further away would be great (to show the antenna in relation to the whole car).

EvoXDD · 08-04-2012, 06:20 PM

I will take one in about 2 hours when i get to the meet, my car is dirty so don't expect glammer shots, but since I know people like those, here is one from before the antenna ;-)

EvoXDD · 08-04-2012, 06:49 PM

Sorry guys taking the Evo out tonight to do so small tuning adjustments before autox because of the heat change, I will pull the brz out tomorrow though I promise.

encity5 · 08-04-2012, 08:00 PM

Smaller that beat sonic overall?

Shagaliscious · 08-04-2012, 09:27 PM

Nice, doesn't look as tall as the other one. Much better.

EvoXDD · 08-04-2012, 09:56 PM

It is a perfect fit over the stock black box with just enough fin to fit the flat antenna they have on the inside. It is very sleek, pics tomorrow for sure

I installed one of these a few weeks ago and love it. The only suggestion I would make is to tape a string from the lower windshield where the centerline marker is to the window center of the middle brake light to determine a perfect straight line. I posted some photos here http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11446 and a code for $5 off. Cost is $69 + $12 S&H = $81 less $5 = $76. Paint matches perfectly and shipping was really fast.

Awesome post. I wasn't gonna have all the promo stuff till Monday when they came in the office and I got to talk to them. Good stuff!

I didn't have much trouble lining mine up I just used the existing box and made adjustments off that making sure the final alignment wasn't touching the original antenna
