Antenna Replacement & Cheap Parts

[Brock]

I've two questions today:

1) The antenna on my car right now is awful, what kind of options do I have to replace it with?

and

2) What is the best (most reputable) and cheapest place to get Genuine Mazda Parts? Online?

Sent a message to my hookup for the cheap honda parts. He was wondering if I had a part no. to make his search easier. Anyone have that off hand or shall I go google fishing?

call your local dealership and ask. idk how much of a hookup you need on a part that only costs 15 at the most.

if u ever consider a sharkfind they make for our car's here http://www.visualgarage.com/home.html they paint them in any color you want as well, pretty cool, and there real ones there not "fake" sharkfins

I had one of the VG sharkfins on my CX-7. Very nice. Looked stock. And never had a problem in hot or cold or car wash.

I'm ordering one in the group buy for my new 3.
