Audi / BMW GPS Antenna Fin

What do you guys think of a TSX with a Audi/BMW GPS antenna fin? I found one here on eBay. What do you all think--rice? I'm thinking of doing it, getting it painted to match of course.

Personally I think it would look bad. I like the clean look of having no antennas on the roof/car. Just my $.02

Aren't those antennas used for XM radio?

XM...yeah maybe you're right. I also don't know if I can have it done because I have the OEM car cover and there is no place for it. I'd have to customize it.

Those look bad. I liked the little onStar antenna on my 03 CL-S, which was for onStar not for XM.
I remember I was doing lunch with this one girl that had a Jetta (their radio antenna is in the same spot) and the first time we walked up to the car she says something like "hey why is it so little"
I couldn't stop laughing for a while

the auction says it's a dummy fin. it just sticks on...why put something on your $30k car that has no function at all?

just curious? i could understand if maybe it could actually be an antenna for something.

I like the way it looks like on the BMW but am afraid that it will look rice on my TSX.

Yet you're considering putting one on your car?
I'll sell you some old folgers coffee cans for the exhaust, that will look sweet!

Just FYI the fin is used for BMW assist on the BMW (not sure on the Audi) plenty of Bimmers have GPS and no fin. They are new on the 04s.

You know it wouldnt be bad if it were a functional antenna, but putting a plastic fin on your roof to look like a more expensive car is :ghey: :ghey: :ghey:
