  Anyone install a shark fin?


Hey guys, I just upgraded to an 07 Sentra SER recently from my 04. I've been looking for a shark fin antenna and found a site that sells them.

I see a picture of one (http://www.visualgarage.com/Product_Gallery_flash.html ... picture #10) but there aren't enough angles ... wondering if anyone has any angles from the rear and more from the side quarter panels?

Thanks!

First off, Welcome to NICO!

For posting pics use image tags. They work as follows:

[img]url of image[/img

Put a closing bracket on the end and the pic will show up within the thread.

One of our B16 owners may have a shark fin to show you.

Thanks for the fast response!

Actually, I wasnt trying to post pictures, because I wasn't able to link them as they were in a flash gallery. I should have said:

Picture #10 --> http://www.visualgarage.com/Pr....html

In any case, yes, would love to see the owners pictures! (I meant, the car, not the owner)

search on ebay, they have some adequate pics. i wanted it, but it was like $81...i just unscrewed the antenna and it looks like a shark fin already and i havent lost radio quality. just make sure that you put something in the hole to prevent dirt from getting in in case at some time you want to screw the antenna back on.

Yeah, the price is steep but then again it comes painted already ... when I painted my spoiler, they charged me $90 and that wasn't a bad quote.

I tried no antenna, but I lose reception ... i wonder how you got reception still

yea $81 is a bit too high. I tried to bargain w/ the seller for $50 but he couldn't give me the discount. So I was thinking of unscrewing the antennae too since I didn't seem to lose reception either. Sentrastance, what did you use to cover up the hole? Got any pics?

Count me in! How much is the discount though? Like I said, this isn't worth more than $20 - 40 most...... They are charging $81..... just insane....

This is a FM/AM Antenna. I have the BlueTooth kit installed. Does it use the same antenna or is it strictly radio.

I believe it's strictly the FM/AM radio. I too have the Bluetooth option.

Hey guys, I e-mailed visual garage and this is their response:

Quote »
Please see our group buy pricing structure below. We've been quite
successful with group buys, especially for car forums, often reaching 50+
all the time. Pricing below includes shipping to USA and Canada.

Qty: 5 to 14 --> $76.95 USD
Qty: 15 to 29 --> $72.90 USD
Qty: 30 to 49 --> $68.85 USD
Qty: 50 or more --> $64.80 USD

To do the group buy, we need an organizer who is in charge of taking all the
information of the cars that are being ordered, as well as the shipping
address for each order. After they collect all the payments from the
members, they will make one lump sum payment to us and then we'll process
the order and ship out when ready.

Regards,
Arthur

Their prices are still on the high end even at a quantity of 50. Do we have 50 people?

Why do you have to wait 2 - 3 weeks? If you're paying $80 for this thing, I'd want it within 2 - 3 days.... Please post pics when you get it installed. I'd like to get one but it's tough to justify the high cost.

Cool, since DarkAquarius is getting the shark fin on his own, we only have 4 members interested and don't even make the minimum of 5...... The discount isn't much unless we get 50+.....
