blacked out antenna roof

m_bazeepaymon · 10-26-2008, 07:40 PM

I'm planning on blacking out my roof with vinyl and I have navigation and think if I remove it it will not work well with the navi =/

Anybody know where I can find them for a good price ?

Do you really want it to be removed? You can cut the vinyl so that it goes around the fin. Then you can just vinyl the fin again for a clean look.

get a black vinyl roof and buy a new CF antenna! yesss and if u dont like CF at all u can just paint it black!

Paymon, just vinyl out the roof, and leave the sharkfin alone. Buy a carbon fiber sharkfin cover from adamaster or another vendor and get that vinyeled to match. Who is vinyling your roof, stickercity? Also, are you going to vinyl out your window trim? You told me that you wouln't vinyl out your trim if you don't get black rims. Are you getting rims? Are you still coing to that meet November 1st?

the shape makes it a bit difficult, I would say go CF or paint it

its a lease... I really gotta buy a replacement one

If you try and remove the antenna, you will be left with a hole in the roof you will need to patch...I would not suggest it. Just get a CF or black cover or go to another shop that can vinyl it.

heres a pic of my roof and fin vinyled ... took me hours to get it on.. hopefully nobody notices the imperfections lol oh well.

dvpouldar26 · 10-27-2008, 10:39 PM

Just buy a carbon fiber cover, sand it down, primer it, spray-paint it black, and clearcoat it.
