GB: Shark Fin Antenna for Mazda 6 / Mazdaspeed 6 by Visual Garage

[RPM]

RPM is proud to bring you yet another group buy for the Shark Fin Antenna from Visual Garage.

This is a fully functional and very stylish shark fin antenna that comes pre-painted to match your car. Hundreds of customers have already purchased this antenna and have been very pleased.

Utilizing fractal antenna technology, VG was able to develop a functional antenna that fits inside the shark fin and retains radio reception within normally acceptable ranges. A fractal antenna is created using fractal geometry (repetition of a simple shape to form a repeating pattern) and has reception that rivals antenna designs 50% to 150% larger in size. Through testing, they have found that the VG Shark Fin Antenna performed consistently better than any stubby antenna fitted on the same car.

A custom die-cut 3M double-sided adhesive gasket is designed to secure the VG Shark Fin Antenna in place, overtop of the antenna base. This 3M adhesive is used because of its bonding strength to the car and its nature of being removable without damaging the paint. Also it has good weatherability and is insensitive to contamination.

The VG Shark Fin Antenna is made of sturdy and high quality ABS plastic by injection molding process. Each VG Shark Fin Antenna is painted and clear coated to color match the OEM color code of your car. VG has reputable body shops working with them, so you can be assured that you are receiving a high quality paint job!


GROUP BUY PRICING

Our original shark fin group buys always used a stepped pricing model, but last time, we offered a single low price and it worked out very well, so we're trying it again! A price this low was previously only offered when we received more than 50 orders!

VG's MSRP --> $81.00
RPM's Retail Price --> $79.95

Group Buy Price --> $64.80 (20% off MSRP!)

This price includes USPS Priority Mail shipping within the U.S. (including Alaska and Hawaii). Shipping to Canada will be an additional US$5.00, but they will be shipped via Canada Post from British Columbia, so as to avoid customs fees. Canadian orders should use the shipping quote code: C35X

This group buy will accept orders until October 7, 2009. All orders will be sent to Visual Garage at that time. Once submitted, they will be made and custom-painted and will take approximately 4-5 weeks to ship. If you take part in this group buy, you should not expect to receive your antenna until mid-November! Yes, I know that's a long time. You can pay full price if you want your order to be processed right away. Normal orders are currently taking about 4-5 weeks from the time the order is placed, or less than a week if the "Rush Order" fee is paid.


HOW TO ORDER

You may order directly from our website via the link below. Do NOT choose the "Rush Order" option if you are participating in the group buy. When checking out, use the coupon code "SHARKFINGB" in order to be included in the group buy. If you do not redeem this coupon code, your order will be processed normally at full price. Canadian orders should use the shipping quote code: C35X

do does have good reception?

anyone like to comment who has one?

[RPM]

It's not quite as good as stock, but it's better than most stubby antennas. If you're in a large metro area, you probably won't notice a difference, but if you're in a rural area or already have some stations that fade, you're more likely to notice.

I love mine, looks way better than the "horse whip" stock antenna. As for reception, I can't tell a difference in audio quality from stock at all, quality is the same, and I'm in a pretty rural area. On a daily basis people ask me what's on top of my car lol. I'm very happy with mine! RPM and VG ftw!

Is it possible to get a fin in Metropolitan Gray? Don't see it on the drop down list.

[RPM]

I didn't think the Mazda 6 was available in Metropolitan Grey. Am I wrong?

[muSh]

No, that is just me being a moron, and thinking the 3's and 6's were all grouped together on the link to your site. This is for the Gf's 3...I found them.

Bump for a great part at a solid price!

As for reception, it's not bad like you might expect. For as little as I do listen to FM radio, it doesn't degrade signal enough to be a problem.

Order Placed. Cant wait till it gets here very excited.

[sick_kick06]

Did you get the right color? There should be a code on the underside, usually written in ink. It should be something like 32VC1 or 27AF. Please submit your findings, along with your order number and the color of your car using the ticket system on the contact page of our website and we'll verify it for you.
