I just saw a vendor booth at Toyotafest that had shark fin replacement antennas. I wasn't interested so I didn't take note of the maker or the price. Just thought I would post to let you know that there is someone out there making such a thing, FWIW.

Are you sure about that?

Any one that I've seen installed are functioning antenna. What 'cover' refers to the fact that they tend to be slightly larger than OEM shark fins since they are designed to cover over the existing antenna base.

I've bought a cheap shark fin antenna from the internet. Installed it in like 5 minutes and it looks and sounds fine.

I think the stock setup looks good. Those fins look goofy(imo).
