I will be shaving the antenna off and relocating it to the roof w/the VW setup. Looks like the vw antenna came with a long coaxial cable as well. Should the stock antenna cable be fished up into the roof or vice versa?

 

Sounds good to me. Goin with the shark fin look, i would love a write up on something like that.

 

personally i'd say check out bimmer antennas. they look more like shark fins, but only look good body color. the VW style is a sweet idea, i might have to bite. dont know if i want to go to all the work of shaving the existing one though

 

saw same imitation shark antenas on ebay... anybody have one to see what it would look like on a max?

 

hrmm interesting idea, i hate the antenna

 

Yeah i've been wanting to do the same. To shave the stock one would cost $200. I would like something like this:

 

damn ossamahs max is a tease.

 

Yeah that black max is

Check the Max in our Maxima.org logo upper left of screewn, Y2KevSE, it has what you guys are talking about.

 

I would like a write up on this if someone does it. I hate the look of our antenna.

 

im having the antenna shaved while my car gets repainted, so it wont cost me extra. however, i must find a way to fish the line to the new mounted antenna. if i find a way, ill write a writeup

 

good luck :0

 

Is there anyway the xm antennas would work for regular radio signal? i dont know what this shark fin is you guys are talkin about but something as small as the xm nub would be cool, i've been wanting to shave my antenna for a while.

 

Also on my list when I repaint the whole car, I wish I had the cash cause the body & paint on my 96' needs help!

 

Nismotic,

YOu should be able to fish the cable up there. I'm not sure the compatiblity of the cables though, so you would have to find a way to couple them together and still have the antenna be efficient.

 

from speaking to Max4speed himself, he advises me it is only a coaxial cable, but i understand what you're saying. Hope it works.

 

so whats the new color ??

 

yeah, a shaved body would look so much better than the current antenna. is there any way that the XM type of antenna from a 2004 TL would work? I love it on a car in my neighborhood. I think it looks a bit better than the beemer fin IMO

 

Cardana24 shaved his antenna and relocated it to his roof. I asked him about it a while ago when i was thinking of doing it. He told me that he doesn't get good reception and he had to drill a hole in the roof to run the cables through. Here is a pic of his car.

 

that looks sweeet
