Shark fin solutions!!!

[BigBoss]

Hey all,

I just found this on another forum and believe it is what a lot of people are looking for.

VG Shark Fin Antenna - What Is It?

I would buy one in a heart beat but i think they are a little ver priced..... what do you all think??

[UFO]

there's something wrong with my web browser... it's saying that these things are US$69 plus US$18 delivery.

$87 american dollars?
for that?

cant be. my browser must be playing up again .

It's colour matched to your paint code, that would be a lot of the cost I would imagine

[StoneX]

I thought this thread was going to be about soup

[mwood]

believe it or not but it actually only costs $69 dollars cos if you go add too cart and stuff the price doesnt change and says it includes custom colour

Looks ok, but you've still got the P.I.T.A factor of installing it.

It doesn't look big enough to fit over the existing aerial base, so you'd have to remove the existing base, which would involve removing your interior roof lining.

[BigBoss]

From looking at the sight i do not think you need to remove the existing base

THE VE base looks bigger than that...

[Blockab]

But they make it for the G8 so it must do

[SSV Redline]

I'd rather we talk about shark fin soup.

I had been wanting one of these and someone I know had gotten one for the G8, it fits.

Sent them off an email today about getting it done in Provence (as they dont have that colour on their site) and gave them the paint code,

Shall see how it goes.

They have these on the e90 3 series bmw but they are for GPS reception (they are on all even if the car is not fitted with GPS) as they radio antenna is actually in the rear window (sorta like a demister).

Its just my opinion but I think these look crap on a commodore - but its not my car they going on so filll your boots

[Zerone_V]

They have these standard on the Daewoo Veritas (Re-badged 2008 Caprice).
It doesnt look too bad on the Daewoo, however what happens to your radio reception once you install this ?

Does it have an internal antenna wire that connects up to the socket ?

Yes it does..

[bdc74]

they used to look good when they were only on BMW's. It's like all things that look good on one brand of car- people think they look good on all cars, like Audi lighting, and Chev badges.
dont like them myself - but each to their own!

[calais06]

I like the look..

$83.50 posted to Australia primered and $10 more if painted (they dont do provence )

Ill post pics once it arrives/painted.

[BigBoss]

Very interested to see how you go mate

[BigBoss]

Two picks of how they look on a commodore.... well not really a commodore but what ever.




Picks taken from Evoke SSV in the US? Why yes!

[gambler]

I don't like it at all, attracts more attention to the aerial than the stubby antenna does.

[davey g-force]

Yeah, I think they look a bit too chunky. Each to their own though...

[BigBoss]

Fare enough lads.

[BigBoss]

Well calais06 has done it and i like it.

[DrZ]

I like it, and I would do it too..... however owning a VX it would look epic fail to have a shark fin on my front left panel... maybe ill find a better place if i shave it... But i like em.. think they look much better...

[DrZ]

Also, my mates VE's radio reception is still perfectly fine with you screw off the antena in total... (the black rod part, leave the base alone! lol) might as well just get a black plastic plug.. lol
