Shark Fin Antenna

[sickmazdasix]

Does anyone know where I can get one of these for my 08 Mazda 6?

I'm putting one on my MS6 today. I'll post how it goes.

 

[SMOKEYS36SHOP]

its a very easy install...i love the way it looks

Honestly, this is probably the easiest thing I've ever put on a car. They look fantastic compared to the fishing pole. I highly recommend this. Gonna be posting some pics of my MS6 soon.

If you're not up on spending $80-85 for a sharkfin, you can spend $15-20 and get a CX-7 antenna, that bolts right on as well. Again, much cleaner than the sharkfin.

how is it cleaner? sorry but i think a shark fin is a much cleaner look to our cars than any black pole coming off the roof of the car...its just a classier look in my opinion..but turnersteve im sure your very happy with your antenna and im not downing it...to each there own

I swapped my fishing pole for a CX-7 the day I bought the car. I picked up a sharkfin a few months ago and sold the other antenna. I prefer the sharkfin, but going from a 20" flexible rod to a 6" beefed up one is a cleaner look overall. The side profile is smaller since you don't have a big pole sticking up from the roofline. Overall, the sharkfin makes it even lower, which to me is the best look.

If I had it my way, the antenna would be integrated to the rear glass.

sorry just going by your pic of the car in the signature ...still has the cx-7 pole i guess...and yea i wish they integrated it into the rear glass...then we wouldnt have to spend anything on a sharkfin lol

I need to get a new picture with the sharkfin, but that's what it looks like with the cx-7 antenna. Stock was just too big.

How does the radio reception compare between the stock, CX-7 and Sharkfin?

 

[tunersteve]

In my experience, the stock to CX-7 was no difference. CX-7 to sharkfin I see very mild difference in quality, with the CX-7 being slightly better.

i dont notice any difference between the stock antenna and the sharkfin. reception is the same in my opinion with all of my local radio stations

 

[OJ Bartley]

Reception is still fine for me with the shark fin. The only places I notice are where there would have been a very weak signal to begin with, like my parking garage at work. Before, I think I had radio down until P2, but now it cuts out on P1.

I guess if you're listening to any stations with a weak signal now, they may get a little worse, or they may not. But for most stations you shouldn't notice a difference.

 

[Neofolis]

Thanks, my main reason for asking is that two of the stations I listen to most have fairly poor signals here, but I guess it's not a major issue.

how do i know if i have the satellite integrated antenna? the pic on there doesn't realy clarify

 

[sickmazdasix]

and where can i find the cx-7 antenna?

Our cars don't come with the dual antenna. The sat. antenna will be on the trunk lid.

and where can i find the cx-7 antenna?

Any dealer can order it, just go in and ask. I believe Online Mazda Parts can find it for you as well. Should be around $20.

 

[sickmazdasix]

thanks a lot

just ordered the cx-7 antenna
