Default Thoughts on living with the XM antenna...

So I really don't like the XM antenna on the trunk lid. I think it's an eyesore. Obviously there is a hole in the lid underneath the antenna, so removing it isn't an option. I'm wondering if the OEM spoiler or wing might help to distract from it.

Thoughts?

I'm sure the bigger OEM wing or a CR wing might help take the focus away from it. Mine didn't come with XM, so I added it and stuck the antenna on the passenger top corner of the window frame. It blends in perfectly on the black vinyl.

I have a black AP2 with the OEM wing and the stupid XM ant in the middle of the rear deck lid.



Nothing distracts me from the stupid XM ant at all. Drives me clinically insane.

Ha, I remember seeing it for the first time on the S2000 at the NY Auto Show and liking it. It's 2006 cool.

No big deal to me. I completely forgot about mine until I read this post.

I wish it didn't bother me... I think it sticks out like a sore thumb. That;s one like this not like this .

Probably wouldn't cost too much to have it relocated and the hole in the trunk filled. Maybe a few hundred dollars. Depends on if it bugs you THAT much. Or maybe see about having it painted body color?

Thanks, it is already body color from the factory I just think it kills the lines of the car. Also I don't even have/want XM so it's there for no good reason

Just get it taken off and the hole filled. Or find someone with the same color car that's willing to trade trunks.
