Thanks for the compliments.
I ain't dropping it! - As much as I'd like to lower the center of gravity for handling, I couldn't have driven down in front of that lake with less ground clearance. You should see the dropoff I negotiated. Besides, when I was a young punk, we'd lift the back of our cars for cosmetic reasons (think Dukes of Hazard) - I don't get the "lowered look" - it looks good the way it is to me. |

Does the antenna base twist off or do I have to do something special? I see the wire twists out quite easy but the base I am having problems with...

I got mine a couple of days ago, but kinda having second thoughts, mainly cause I do have the rally-style spoiler on mine and the fin looks kinda out of place... So I'm still undecided.
I did try it on my wireless mouse, to see if it could increase range or have a smoother connection, but it kinda got in the way of ergonomics:

The fins finally arrived today. Will be installing it as soon as I get a day off.. Color is perfect for my wife's Prius and a little darker for my Yaris but not too bad

I think the color (at least the MM) takes a little while to fully cure. Mine looked a little dark at first, but now its dead on.
I had my car at the dealership last Friday and several of the salesmen came out to look at it. They really liked the shark fin. It is officially 'bling'. |

I just installed the same one as you Violin, and it either changed color after a couple of days or my eyes just adjusted. Either way they look great.
