i'm already iffy with the guy over two days. i've left him an email at two different addresses, two voicemails (even though the phone hasn't been on all day), a post on the companies facebook wall, and i'm willing to make the hour drive. i'm gonna give the guys until wednesday next week (making my wait time one week) until i file a dispute and really get to the bottom of this.

but anyways, lower that bish!

Thanks for the update on the Blox. I was debating that but then I saw a 2012 Civic fin antenna mod on a CR-Z which looked real nice, and is OEM. It's a small fin so it's not too flashy. Those CR-Z guys are doing some decent mods even found a DIY for adding a rearview camera to the Honda stock Navi; another mod to add to the list.

I could've swore I saw a 2012 Fit with the sharkfin also, wonder if it's available OEM?

I meant the JDM GE8 Fin antenna, not sure if it's a Honda product or not.

But after some more research the 2012 Civic fin antenna is
ANTENNA ASSY., XM *NH731P* (CRYSTAL BLACK PEARL)
Sale Price: $22.04
Product ID : 39150-TR0-A01ZD

It even comes in Taffeta White:
ANTENNA ASSY., XM *NH578* (TAFFETA WHITE)
Part NO.: 39150-TS8-A01ZB


This is the pic from the CR-Z thread sunroof installed & fin antenna swapped - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

I think this little antenna just made my mods list.

This is off topic, but I really love the lighting in this photo. The orange, blue and purple and red colors set it off. I am not tripping on acid I swear.

Good to see you got it finally, and just in time for the weekend project. Its good that you didn't get ripped off too. When the time comes to get my wing I hope I have the same luck.

USPS sux!!!! They probably had it in their local location, and didn't try to deliver or leave a note for atleast a week or more. Happens to me all the time...
Was thinking about getting the OEM-style small spoiler from that same site, but for a few yen more I can get the JDM Honda one which comes pre-painted to match. Hopefully by next summer money permitting.


Nice RIMS!!!!!!!

They look great on your car!!!!! Which rims are those?

Nice pic next to the F-15C(?), nice photoshoot there.

Not my cup of tea for the rims (the two tone throws me off) but it looks good all together! Do you have any more pictures of the back? I wanna see how noticeable the holes are from the OEM spoiler, the Mugen looks sick!

re: usps ; I ordered a LED keyring from Thailand, it was shipped and in JFK within a few days. Waited almost 4 weeks (from day of order) till usps decided to leave me a final pick up notice, I never received any prior notices. When I went to pick it up they said it was in their location since 10/11/11, I didn't get any notice till 11/1/11 ~20 days...

Thanks for the correction blassty, I used to be able to ID all modern jet fighters, even the different MiG variations, and Su's... years ago when I was a teen.


Yeah the rims are a little flashy, but conservative at the same time (to me), so they complement the car really well. Not too familiar with XXR.

Thanks! ...I think lol ..yea, the wheels & in-your-face wing aren't for everybody, but then again, i'm not everybody either
The wheels grew on me...or I grew on the wheels. LOL. The wing isn't that in-your-face, it helps that it is color-matched.

Your ride looks sweet! I dig that mugen wing!
When i went to install mine and the holes didnt line up..... i was shocked haha but it was so worth the 2 hours to measure exact and make the holes.

For sure! I looked through every type of wing, stock or mugen my two favorites... Sold my stock for mugen, perfect trade.

Seems like our reply posts are going cross threads. haha

Yeah i like the look without the fairing, less wind resistance. haha
