GB: Visual Garage Shark Fin Antenna (functional)

[RPM]

Remember this? We used to do these all the time, but had to stop due to lack of demand. We're going to give it one more shot and see what happens.

This is a fully functional and very stylish shark fin antenna that comes pre-painted to match your car. Hundreds of customers have already purchased this antenna and have been very pleased.

Utilizing fractal antenna technology, VG was able to develop a functional antenna that fits inside the shark fin and retains radio reception within normally acceptable ranges. A fractal antenna is created using fractal geometry (repetition of a simple shape to form a repeating pattern) and has reception that rivals antenna designs 50% to 150% larger in size. Through testing, they have found that the VG Shark Fin Antenna performed consistently better than any stubby antenna fitted on the same car.

A custom die-cut 3M double-sided adhesive gasket is designed to secure the VG Shark Fin Antenna in place, overtop of the antenna base. This 3M adhesive is used because of its bonding strength to the car and its nature of being removable without damaging the paint. Also it has good weatherability and is insensitive to contamination.

The VG Shark Fin Antenna is made of sturdy and high quality ABS plastic by injection molding process. Each VG Shark Fin Antenna is painted and clear coated to color match the OEM color code of your car. VG has reputable body shops working with them, so you can be assured that you are receiving a high quality paint job!


GROUP BUY PRICING

VG's MSRP --> $87.00
RPM's Retail Price --> $82.95

Group Buy Price --> $67.86 (22% off MSRP!)

This price includes USPS Priority Mail shipping within the U.S. (including Alaska and Hawaii). Shipping to Canadian addresses costs an additional US$5.00, so the discount will be $5.00 less for orders shipped to Canada, but they will be shipped via Canada Post from British Columbia, so as to avoid customs fees.

This group buy will accept orders until December 1, 2013. All orders will be sent to Visual Garage at that time. Once submitted, they will be made and custom-painted and will take approximately 4-5 weeks to ship. If you take part in this group buy, you should not expect to receive your antenna until late-December 2013! We can't promise delivery by Christmas, but we'll try! And yes, we know that's a long time. You can pay full price if you want your order to be processed right away. Normal orders are currently taking about 3 weeks from the time the order is placed.

BONUS OFFER: If you order one the vehicle/color combinations found at this link, you will get the GB price, but there will be NO WAIT (while supplies last)!

Very tempting... I always kind of wanted one.

[swsmailman]

Same here, I have always wanted on, but can I get one that is not painted? Just primed? I have my own paint that I want to do for it, don't see why I need to pay for painting...

VG doesn't sell them unpainted. You could order a white or black one and repaint it, though, I suppose.

Had one on my gendone and now again on my Pu

Great product and this is a sweet price

[swsmailman]

Ok, well I was planning on doing the Graphite Mica color on this anyways, to match the graphite mica accents the 2013s come with. So may just go ahead and do this later this week.

Appreciate it!

Ahh.. We can have it painted to match any color, so all we would need is the proper color code, even if it's to match the accents rather than the body color.

[swsmailman]

Word, its the 38R color code for the Graphite Mica accents, so good to go on that!

[jk_ms3]

I think I'm going to let this be a Christmas present for me, from me.

[dale_gribble]

You had mine in stock (WWP, 06 Speed 6), so I went ahead and bought with GB. Thanks.

About as much as Spacers so I hear

[Mortose]

This is super tempting.........

[jdmage_mx5]

Man where was this about a month ago! I love my sharkfin from you guys. Reception is great also.

[chaser27]

WTF is the Type I vs Type II thing? whether the antenna comes out the front or back of the plastic thing? It looks like the bottom type I antenna, but in the location of the type II pic... if that makes sense.

It's the size/shape of the antenna base. If you have a large antenna base due to the integrated satellite antenna, you need Type II.

Just waiting on pay day now

[chaser27]

Well I got suckered into another impulse buy.... Don't think I'll regret it though.

Are you guys somehow related to RPM cranes? I see a guy driving a truck around sometimes with the same logo.

[RPM]

Lame. Ours looks way better.

[dale_gribble]

@RPM, Where you guys been anyways? Forgot the www.mazdaspeedforum.org/forum community existed? There's a plethora of hairy sacks here just waiting to throw their hard earned cash at a good vendor with good deals on parts.

I used to buy a bunch of stuff from you guys for my old 6 back in the day. Haven't heard much from you since.

We've been around... just haven't spent much time in the forums in a while. However, we do miss the interaction with the community, so we're marking that a priority again. You'll be seeing a lot more posts from us in the coming days. Heck, I think we made 3 just today! haha

[802MS3]

[Hammology]

Too bad im saving my pennies for engine build

What's the closest thing you have to pure gloss black? My roof has vinyl on it so that's why I ask. Trying to find something without any flakes or anything like that in it.

Color code NN (Ebony or Onyx Black) is just gloss black.

How much to send to uk?
I've got one of these myself and previously setup a group buy a couple years ago in the uk... I'll see if anyone over here is interested

Shipping to the UK would be $20, and multiple units could be shipped for that same price.

[Nliiitend1]

I still have one sitting in a box that I never installed...

I have Sirius, and the fact that I couldn't fit the puck underneath this thing and make it look good sort of killed it for me.

[Quigs]

This is perfect, my finacee has been asking me for gift ideas to get me.

[He Hate Me]

Can't pass up this price

[wolly6973]

Can you get them for other vehicles? Would love one for my wife's 2012 Sorento.

Yes, we can. VG doesn't have Sorento in their database, though, so I'll have to shoot them an email about that.

[RPM]

They can do 2012 Sorento.

For any car other than Mazda use this page:

Merry Christmas to me.
