it's not an antennae, it's actually some sort of parking light, and seeing as it will go with my plans for my car, yeah I do want it

so, if you have any helpful info, please let me know, thanks.

alrighty then, it took a while but i found info on it.

Its a parking pole, people in Japan use them because "spaces are tight" and they need help parking without hitting other objects.

Ok those antenna looking things are for cars and truck to have to know where the front corner of your car is when parking next to a wall or something, so you don't hit the wall

So when installing it, it should be on the passenger side front.

edit: technical term is parking pole, or corner pole marker.

Also they come in auto or fixed.
The auto one is like 4th gen (dont' know about other year) radio antenna which retracts when the power is off.
and the fixed one, that right you guessed it, it's fixed. But you can adjust the height manually.

funniest plates I seen are STFU COP

based on what i have researched, it is called a parking pole. and yes, they go on the passenger side of vehicles (left side on a RHD car, right side on a LHD car). they are powered so they move up and down by a switch, so its not sticking up all the time

that is depending on what kind of parking pole you get. auto or fixed.

Ofcourse on the 4th gen you are prob going have some issue mounting an auto one, because the stuff that is in the way. Rather just get a fixed one.

It's a technique used in japan to throw off the radar signals from a cop so he can't clock you.

I just read it's used by the Roswell UFO survivors to receive and transmit signals to alien planets 6,000,000 light years away!

They sell a mind controlled unit so installtion is plug and play.

Why don't drifters and racers use them? I can see it helping them hit the apexes, or not hit another competitor.

If you read the thread you'd see that I know what it does, I just didn't know what it was called

It's my car, I'll do as I please, so I don't care what you all say, once it's done, it'll be one of the nicest maximas on the site

Be careful what you wish for, remember some of those beauties in the bar seen in the original star war films? Come to think of it I fell in love with the one with 5 arms and a face that would stop a freight train. lol

I want one too! GB????

Saying your car is going to be the nicest on the site is just ignorant, there will always be people who hate the way your car looks, to each their own my friend, each their own...
