hi guys please help me to find a replica for this antenna

1.) Go to here: eBay Search (http://www.ebay.com/sch).

2.) Type in "yaris shark fin antenna".

I just found 23 of 'em (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=yaris+shark+fin+antenna&_sacat=See-All-Categories) of varying quality and price using those steps.

I got mine from these guys and they are great. www.visualgarage.com
The first painting to factory paint code 8T0 was a hair off and they re-did it for me no questions asked sending me a new one and had me return the original after I got the replacement. They had me send photo's in three different light conditions; indoor garage, shade and direct sun. From all the feedback on their website I think they usuall get it right the first time.

What year did you pick when ordering (they only go up to 2009--no 2010 or 2011)?

Out of curiosity, why? I keep wanting something to get better reception in my sedan. I always heard a FM antenna should stick up 3 inches above the body. so my windshield antenna seems less than ideal....

As a general rule, shark fin antenna manufacturers warn that they may cause decreased reception compared to a whip style. It's much more of a cosmetic mod than a reception improvement.

What alternatives are there? I really hate the stock on my hatch, it's gigantic. Was thinking something smaller.

A "stubby" antenna (http://yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5536&highlight=antenna)...

You can get them from eBay, online...

I snagged an OEM one from a '10 Toyota Matrix. Reception is still fine.

it doesn't give any better reception on the fm, its more on a cosmetic...and i like my top clean and i think it don't look good on my sedan, just my opinion.:rolleyes:

I have a shorty antenna and compared to the stock one I have not a HUGE change. I did it mainly for cosmetics. Bout 10 bux on ebay

Thinking about getting something like that only in the Mitsubishi lancer style where there are 5 or 6 of them in a row towards the back. Kinda like this...

[matthewai]

[Dadams]

those are not antennas. them there are air flow disruptors... because you
know...that Lancer can't get up and merge into highway traffic without them

[Dadams]
