Not my cup of tea on the Fit, but at least it's color matched. How was the install?

easy install...just removed the stubby, cleaned the area with alcohol, attached the antenna coil to the base (with the screw provided), centered it up using masking tape, and applied. Has to be applied at room temp., so I heated the area with a hair dryer. Works great and color match is perfect...I didn't think everyone would like it, just wanted to give fit freaks and friends a chance to see it. Thanks!

Definitely a mod strictly for the GE. The lines of the car go well with the angular shark fin antenna. A mod I might just have to tackle on my GE. Great job!

hey, you can get these through visualgarage.com, I paid $69 and that included custom painting. Easy to install and works great! Tried to downdoad a pic, but photobucket wasn't working, but you can see it on my page.

i don't think it looks that bad. a shorty antenna would've looked better imo but this is still pretty cool.
