Anyone ever install a " shark fin " antenna on their Camaro or Firebird ?

Are you talking about relocating the sharkfin antenna on top of the sail panel or putting the sharkfin antenna where the original antenna is now?

Please dont do it...

I was thinking about on top of the sail panel, just behind the middle of the t top frame. Why " please don't do it " ? ...........I think the power antenna, although it works, looks feeble.

I say go for it. Pick one up, take a few pics of it just sitting on top before you install. IF it looks like crap don't install it.

You can do what you want but have you considered a "shorty" antenna that replaces the factory antenna.

Sharkfin antennas look good on cars with a square shape.
I.e evo 8
fbodies have a much rounder shape.

Do you by chance have this on your car? How's the quality? I'm curious about it. Thanks!

most people here have the shorty antenna. Looks great and functions correctly. many posts about it on the forum.

I don't have it on my Firebird but I noticed you have a Camaro and it looks good on that car.

I simply chopped my factory antenna about half height, then dipped the end in black enamel paint to coat the cut end. Cost was free, looks 10x better, and I don't listen to the radio anyway!

Without an FM amplifier, you won't pick up **** with a shark fin.

UMIs Shorty antena.

Don't think a sharkfin would look good on these cars.

I have the factory power antenna on my T/A that raises only when the radio is engaged. Disappears when the engine is off.
Running stubbies is an unfortunate compromise. If I'd have designed the F body I would have hidden antenna wires within the hatch glass.
