While designing the VG Shark Fin Antenna, we focused not only on creating a unique shape that is stylish and aerodynamic, but also in designing an antenna that would maintain AM/FM radio reception.

Utilizing fractal antenna technology, we were able to develop a functional antenna that fits inside the shark fin and retains radio reception within normally acceptable ranges. A fractal antenna is created using fractal geometry (repetition of a simple shape to form a repeating pattern) and has reception that rivals antenna designs 50% to 150% larger in size. Though the stock antenna will usually still provide better reception, through testing, we found that the VG Shark Fin Antenna performed consistently better than any stubby antenna fitted on the same car.

Using a coiled cord, the fractal antenna is attached to the stock antenna base with an attachment screw. The use of a coiled cord eliminates the extra cord that would otherwise be in the way of installation, allowing you easier positioning.

A custom die-cut 3M double-sided adhesive gasket was designed to secure the VG Shark Fin Antenna in place, overtop of the antenna base. This 3M adhesive is used because of its bonding strength to the car and its nature of being removable without damaging the paint. Also it has good weatherability and is insensitive to contamination.

The VG Shark Fin Antenna is made of injection molded ABS plastic. Each VG Shark Fin Antenna is painted and clear coated to match the OEM paint code of your car. We partnered with automotive body shops that specialize in painting so you can be assured that you will be receiving a high quality paint job!
