Actually that would be a dorsal antennae due to it's placement on the car relative to an actual sharkaaaaaaaannnnndddd I'm just making this up. I have no idea.

Because Orca-fin and Dolphin-fin don't have the same punch to them.

I would have gone with Dorsal antennas personally, but what the hell, Shark has more bite to it anyway.

There's more than one arrow so it should be "arrows". Unless you truly only drew one and someone helped you with the rest. One of them has quite unique form so at least that's probably yours.

I also do believe that they are just shark fin antennas.

Officially, like in manufacturer speak? Antenna.

Dunno. but you can buy stick-on fake ones -that aren't even antennas ( the upside is they are hollow carbon fiber and will fit OVER the raggedy rubber one you have...)

"Shark-fin" antennas give cars a cleaner look in my opinion. It looks much better than that foot long wire that originally stuck out of the top of my car.

Did you find a place that has them prepainted in FoST colors? That's the car I'm looking to buy it for.

This is where I got mine. It took a little while but the color matched perfectly. Mine shipped out of Canada so I think the customs made it take a bit longer. $87. The radio and satellite radio work flawlessly with it.

I HAD PARMESAN CRUSTED SHRIMP!

Also my last car was named Hunter and had a Hunter S. Thompson sticker in the back window. That seemed relevant.

Coty,

I have had this problem with some Steeda parts for my ST. I am having trouble getting them up to Oppositelock. Would you be a doll and post my story up for all to see?

By the way, did you end up getting the shark fin antenna?

Here's my story, http://gonzo3333.kinja.com/steeda-parts-a…
