I'm not really feeling it. Better served on a beamer imo. It doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look good either.

thats what Im thinking, it might just take some time to get used to though. I think if I still feel the same way about it in like a week or 2 I will just take it off :/

I think some people are looking at this as a cosmetic improvement for the G. It's not. If you want satellite radio, you have to have an antenna. You have the choice of the Fin or the Rat. The Rat looks like an add-on whereas the Fin looks like it came with the car (OEM). There are some "behind the glass" antennas, but I have heard that the reception is not optimal. I think Shark Fin is much more up to the "G" class.

is it functional? are you using satellite radio? if not, that's useless IMO

My Sirius antenna kinda looks like a square hockey puck...it doesn't bother me enough to buy a fin for it.
