    :h Has anybody customized a Sharkfin antenna? My Prius is Super White so I wondered how a little black tip on the fin would look.....

    How about some pictures if you have them?

    Thanks,

    I always thought an eyeball decal facing back would be cool. Or flames and a BEWARE OF JET BLAST! sticker, but there isn't much room.

    I currently have a Jack In the Box antenna ball looking backwards. The angle is just right so he is looking at tailgaters at eye level! I will consider the flames idea B), or maybe some black volty looking electric bolt.

    Any other ideas out there?

    I suppose you could cement an Estes Rocket to the top of the fin.
    Better yet facing backwards, with a bumper sticker that reads:
    "Cleaning up the Environment, One Tailgater at a time!"

    Howdy Gadgetdad..

    Why don't you take a little black electrical tape and 'take a look' to see if you want to paint the black tip?

    Yes, now thats what I'm talk'n about. I was going to try it out with a crayon..... . :unsure: Koa, thanks for the ideas from Wikipedia, and howdy/thanks to you Charles for the tape suggestion!

    BTW my BT stiffing plate will arrive Mar. 7. I can't wait to give a report on how it works out on the 07 Touring. Also ordered a bit late the engine block heater. Reading through threads to find out the best way to install is taking hours..... anybody have the best way figured out?
