Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- Cars with an existing roof antenna base smaller than the internal cavity
- SUVs with a flat or gently curved roof area large enough for the adhesive base
- Light trucks using a compatible AM/FM antenna connection
- Universal 12-volt vehicle applications after dimensional and connector verification
Product Overview
This antenna is purchased as much for appearance as for repair: it can replace a broken or unattractive whip-style cover while giving the roofline a lower-profile, modern look. The housing is carbon-fiber patterned ABS rather than genuine carbon fiber.
Universal does not mean every roof. Measure the factory antenna base and available roof area, confirm the internal lead can connect to the existing antenna stud, and check that the adhesive base can sit flat without gaps.

- Shark-fin profile updates the appearance of many cars, SUVs, and trucks

- Water-resistant ABS housing with a carbon-fiber-look finish
Common Uses
- Updating the appearance of a traditional roof antenna

- Replacing a cracked decorative shark-fin housing
- Completing a cosmetic roof or exterior styling project

Reception depends on the vehicle antenna system, signal environment, electrical connection, and ground design. This cover will not correct a failed radio, amplifier, cable, or incompatible antenna circuit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the housing real carbon fiber? A: No. It is an ABS housing with a carbon-fiber-look finish.
Q: Will it fit over every factory antenna base? A: No. Compare the internal cavity and external footprint with the existing base and roof contour.
Q: Can it improve weak radio reception? A: It can function with a compatible AM/FM connection, but reception cannot be guaranteed and should be tested before final mounting.
