Was just wondering what everyone thinks on the 2 different looks. At first I wanted to get the shark fin antenna but after I looked at the stubbies they don't look so bad. What would look better on a silver sedan?

 

[sdemo45]

Sedans should have the sharkfin. Hatches.. well, thats debatable.

 

[nuffsaid]

for a sedan imo it depends on your other mods...sharkfin is a nice compliment to a drop,side skirts,tints,etc
if you are mostly stock I would lean toward a stubby

I love the sharkfin on the hatchback. The stubby doesn't look so bad, but I was never a fan of viewable antennas. I'm hoping to get a sharkfin soon.

 

[hazenight]

If you have extra coin, but the shark fin. If not get the stubby from a RDX, thats what I have and it is great looking compared to the stock whip.

 

[yellophase]

yeah i thought about gettin a shark fin antenna too... but theyre like $70!!!!

compared to a stubby one which is like around $5. so yeah sharkfins look so much more pro but it seems like alot of money for just a small piece of plastic...

anyone know where i can get a good stubby one? or are there any shark fins that are cheaper but still good quality??

 

[sdemo45]

yello.. I may have my sharkfin up for sale very soon. Its black mica as well. PM me if you're interested.

sharkfin cus it lets you hide your satellite antenna underneath and looks sweeeeet

Love the sharkfin on my Winning blue Hatch, smooth lines.

 

[NYmazdamatty]

Shark Fin cuz it comes matched to factory paint & it looks good and its... :icspot: to install

 

[bsapoznik]

Sedan = sharkfin
Hatch = stubby

and +1 with nuffsaid on what he said... I had my car bone stock only with tint and I got the sharkfin and it didnt look so good until I added more things

 

[ichill]

Sedans = Shark Fin
Hatches = Stubby

imo, of course.


edit:
lol wow, thats like the same post as you, brian.

I had a shark fin on my hatch for maybe 1 month and liked it for the first 3 weeks until my "new goggles" wore off and I realized how crappy a shark fin looks on a hatch, lol. Stubby antenna FTW

Sedans still look good with shark fins though...just not hatches.

 

[TEKWATCH]

I already gave my opinion but the Hatch has the smooth flowing curve and lines so the Sharkfin compliments my car perfectly, besides I dont want a 3 inch nipple sticking off the top of my car. The Hatch is like a sexy lady,she should be smooth at all times.

Stubbies are for Men without Erectile Disfuction LOL!!!

Seriously, there is no winner here, it is whatever you like.

Its just an antenna. Personally I almost never listen to the radio. But the stubby is easier to get a hold of compared to the sharkfin. You can go to any dealership and get one for $10.

 

[sdemo45]

Yea, regular radio sucks. The only reason I'm thinking of switching to a stubby is because of my HD radio reception. I think the stubby has some better reception than the sharkfin, especially when picking up *not so long range* digital radio signals. Looks wise though, I dont think I care much for the little piece of genitalia on top of the car...

Lol, you'd be surprised how nice it actually does look on a hatch. If you want a cheap one that looks really nice and is made of nice quality (aluminum finish which is very tough against mother nature), try this one: http://www.carccessory.com/detail2I.asp?key=Stubby_Short_Antenna_I It matches the base perfectly too

 

[john_in_the_lbc]

imo, sharkfins look better on the sedan than the hatch.

note that the expensive sharfin has a fractal antenna that receives fairly well, while some of he cheaper short stubby antennas may not capture signals as well in some areas with weak signals.

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Sharkfin...

[/quote] Thats exactly what i'm afraid of, My car doesn't have much mods other than HID and tint, I was thinking a sharkfin would be too much, I guess I'm going with stubby. Can you get an RDX antenna from any honda dealership?
