I saw that you did this without even having a SAT receiver......So you put this on your car so people think you have SAT, or just because you think it looks cool?

That exactly what I was wondering... I don't get it...

Even on a civic it would be pointless, but on a G35???

Man some people need to go back to grade school and learn english comprehension.

Its a freaking DUMMY shark fin.
Its for esthetics only

Its like asking, why people pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to get nice looking rims. it doesn't serve a purpose. does it make the ride smoother? or any better?
NO, its purely esthetic. U dont like the look of the shark fin, but others do. period

Rims do serve a purpose... making them look better is a choice. This is not making something that already exists look better - it's adding something with absolutely no function to the car. It's very sophomoric to me. I would expect something like this from a teen on a civic but not this class of car... It's like the old car cell phones; people put dummy squiggly antennas on their car to look like they have a phone. Pointless to me.

And if opinions can’t be posted then this thread is pointless.

Shark fin antenna is same, some like the looks of the entire car with shark fin. does it need to have a function no.

Holy $hit man...chill out! I was just asking/clarifying the intent (and poking fun too LOL). Though I wasn't even that harsh on you, so I don't regret what I said one bit....others are questioning the same that I did.

Yeah man...you got me...that's EXACTLY why I post here! To look cool in front of thousands of people that I don't really know that well.......

This is not a hard concept to grasp... Your car is useless without rims. "Bling bling" rims (as you put it) is upgrading something that has a function – some people go with after-market light-weight rims for performance reasons… Whatever the reason the rims serve a function.

Now, put it in perspective - IF you had satellite radio with an ugly antenna and wanted to upgrade and make it look better (as some people out here are), I would fully understand... but putting a non-functioning antenna is pointless to me. Your apples to oranges comparison of rims doesn’t make sense.

I’m not trying to offend you or anyone else… the OP wanted opinions (see quote below)… I was just stating mine. If you like the way it looks, fine. But when some of us are puzzled by what the purpose is, you don’t have to take offense. I’m not slamming you – I just don’t understand the mod.

The problem sometimes is when people post an opposing opinion of something, some people take offense. It is not my intent to offend. So let’s move on – preferably without comments like “go away”
