Painted Antenna - Shark Fin
Here are some before-and-after photos of my On Star antenna, aka: the Shark Fin. I had it painted Victory Red by Rodgers Chevrolet, in Woodhaven, Michigan. Their price was $189 with a $50 core charge. Therefore, my net cost was $139.
Becky Doyle handled the entire job and I can’t say enough about her customer service and overall professionalism. I am very happy with the quality of the workmanship and the look of the antenna. So much so, that this post is an unashamed plug for her and Rodgers Chevrolet. Becky Doyle Rodgers Chevrolet 734 479-7117 chevyfleet@aol.com

I always wondered why they have never painted them from the factory, like BMW. It looks waaay better!!

Thanks Alfie, glad you like it. Car looks great. We're happy to do any color, they all help a great looking car look even better. We'll paint it and send it to you with instructions to install. Send us back the original antenna and get a $50 credit for the core. Net cost $139. Call or PM or email if anyone is interested.

Yes, the fin is removed and used for an exchange with Rodgers. They send you a painted one.

However: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...ight=shark+fin http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...ainted+antenna I did not DIY. I had a dealer technician friend do it for me. He had to drop the headliner. Alfie
