    Hey folks,

    do any of you have a spare stock antenna base lying around that you don't need any more?

    If so, is it possible that I can get it off you?


    Some of you may or may not know but I've damaged my base when I backed into the half-opened garage door.

    The whip part is fine I believe but the base isn't. I have a gap between the base of the antenna and the roof of the car that's currently filled, covered rather, by duct tape.

    I was hoping that if you had replaced your stock antenna with the sharkfin, that you would have no need for the stock antenna.


    If so, please drop me a PM. I'd like to have mine replaced and well, you don't want to know the dealer's price for it...


    I'll pay for shipping.

    TIA,

    - TP

    The base of the antenna stays on the car when the shark fin is installed.

    dang it. So the sharkfin replaced the whip and screws into the antenna base? :(

    Yes it only replaces the antenna. If someone got one from Sigma they have the sharkfin that replaces the base.

    I just looked up a new base and I feel for you.
    MSRP $234.41
    Or $187.53 from http://www.citytoyotaparts.com/

    It would be cheaper just to get a cool looking sharkfin ;)

    This doesn't have much to do with the topic, but I think the stock antenna is cute, the shark fin kind of ruins the look of the car.

    yeah I got quoted Cdn$191++... ugh. Maybe it'll cover up some of the scratches that I made on the roof too >.<.

    <sigh> I need a summer job first before I start spending. I hate to be in red by the end of summer.
