Shark fin antenna?
Hi all,
Hey, anyone have any experience with this shark fin antenna for your Fit? Seems like a really good price. Any recommendations? Thanks! Thank you. Oh, and these are glued on. Anything about taking it off the car if it goes bad??? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wate...AbTest=ae803_4 |
Ended up getting one off Ebay for $10.99. It was advertised as for a Honda Fit and it was already "white" and I was hoping the color match was going to be "good enough" but it was way off so I painted it and top coated it. Will look good. (Got the "Tafeta white to match my color from Rock Auto----spray can) I did check the reception, compared to my original antenna and it was no better or no worse. Hope it lasts because I don't know how easy it's going to be to get it off my roof, if it goes bad. :ohnoes:

I went with a beatsonic fda4s. I was shocked that the color was spot on, to the oem silver.
funny enough, I ended up buying a 2nd one, black.... to match my now blacked out roof (vinyl wrap) |

I bought mine off Amazon as well - the glue/tape that it came with did not hold up after one hot summer. On a FF-member's suggestion, I used 3M double-sided tape and it is solid now.

Well, after painting and topcoating, the finish isn't nearly as nice as when I painted and topcoated the lower front bumper cover and side running board which both turned out really nice. They are all "plastic" I guess but seem to be a different kind of plastic. The shark fin antenna was extremely smooth and I did rough it up with a scouring pad before painting but I did notice that when applying the white paint, it didn't cover as evenly, actually kind of "splotchy". In retrospect, I should have probably undercoated the fin first, then followed up with the white paint, then topcoat? Live and learn. Still, not doing it over. It's "okay" and I can live with it.

Do's anyone tried this: https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Univers...B&gclsrc=aw.ds
Very cheap price. Is this OK to replace the original 2011 antenna ? |
Got my sharkfin antenna awhile back but the paint started peeling off the last year or so. Something to consider...

I picked up a Visual Garage sharkfin the week I got my '13 Fit, and it has kept its color and stickiness without any problems, definitely recommend (if they're still in business)
