I have searched online and have been unable to verify, but does anyone know if the sharkfin antenna is the same size on the CR-Z as it is on the ILX? I know older Civic SI's used smaller ones.

Sorry I know its a strange question but I thought I would see if anyone here knew.

Im curious as to why you're interested.

I don't know if this is an accurate indicator, but both the crz and ilx in crystal black pearl has the same exact part number for the sharkfin:

Thanks guys! Jon just toying with some ideas still not 100% sure what I'm going to do with my build or the complete look im goong for. Hopefully I get a promotion at work and mods will start to come faster than they are now . Ill start a build thread when I have a few more mods

Thank you! Slow moving in big companies but things are looking good. Plus I've been talking with a couple shops so I may have a partial sponsorship and will assist with some product development... Fingers crossed!

Shigatsus post is promising. If they are the same product number if imagine they are the same size.

Shigatsu

oh wait. Disregard my post. Haha. That part number is for the color itself. The last number shown is the actual part number.

Waa waa waa.... Sorry.

I guess instead my post shows different part numbers, so most likely they are different. But can't say anything about the size, you'll have to wait for Colin's reply.

Comparing just the pictures from your link they look off. But I think they just sit on the curve of the roof so they might be swapable still.

Colin

Sorry, we car pooled home tonight, only one car in the garage.

LOL, its all good. Let me know whenever you get the chance, and thanks for checking

If they are not the same, does anyone know how easy they can be swapped? Are they Screw on it double side tape? Sorry I am not very familar with these types of antennas...LOL

Colin

IMO, they're not the same. The ILX seems slightly wider, especially towards the front. There is a slight 'horseshoe' contour to the base of the fin on the ILX, whereas the CR-Z is straight sided.

Great information. Thank you

neveronlineilx

Wow... I was just behind a CR-Z at lunch and his looked pretty much the same, granted it was from a distance I was behind him and next to him for a few blocks... LOL

It may have been thinner but it looked really close to the same shape

Confirmed! They are different ilx seems to be a little longer than the CR Z s shark fin
