I would love a nice spoiler though too.

I just bought the same antenna and the darn thing works. Now my Z doesn't look like it's remote controlled.

How is the reception?

Just purchased mine. Hopefully the reception is good? :-)

I am not going to lie to you though, it was very difficult drilling holes in my brand new car. I got up at 5:30 in the morning after not being able to sleep knowing it was sitting in the living room waiting for holes to be drilled. My wife said "I am glad I was asleep!" I told her it was about a three hour install. One hour for the actual work and two hours to get over the nausea.

I still owe you guys an DIY write up but I just haven't had time. I will get to it. Subscribe to my spoiler link a few posts below and I will update that with a link when I do.

Congrats and enjoy!!!

It just seems that only 4 bolts can't do a very good job of securing this spoiler to the trunk lid. How are the bolts distributed? One on each of the four "uprights"? Two each on the outers? Two each on the inners?

Are there gaskets on the bottom of the uprights or do they sit directly on the clearcoat of the trunk lid?

The bolts are one each on the 2 uprights and 2 outers. 2 on top of the trunk and 2 on the down slope at the back. It also has 2 sided tape that I will basically be outlining the underside of the wing with. The wing seemed very strong when I test mounted it with the bolts but the tape will add extra security.

The shorty antenna in all the pics look great! Any noticeable difference in reception?

Zaggeron · 04-10-2011, 01:16 PM

Reception is the same .. but I hardly listen to the radio anyway.

Short antenna looks so much better and the reception is pretty much the same.

Which threads did you guys use to connect the 3" antenna? None of the ones that came with mine seems to fit. I'll try again later, but wanted to check here first before I tried twisting extra hard.

Fire · 04-23-2011, 11:25 PM

I don't know which one but there should be 4 of them if I remember right, it goes on easily.

lazywolfe · 04-23-2011, 11:28 PM

Hmm, I only got 3 gold colored ones, plus 2 black washer/spacer things.

Fire · 04-23-2011, 11:35 PM

I'll stroll out into the garage and see. BRB

Fire · 04-23-2011, 11:48 PM

OK back. There are 4 gold adaptors a long black tube and a short plastic adaptor. Compare the coarse threads with the one still on your stock fishing pole. That will give you your one to screw into the car end, the fine threads screw into the antenna. If I remember right the one end that fits a phillips screwdriver. Let me know what you find.

lazywolfe · 04-24-2011, 12:16 AM

Ah, the phillips head! I didn't realize that screw came out I thought it was just an adapter I didn't need. It went on easy, took 10 seconds. Thanks Fire!

N/P glad to help. That is what this forum is for. I joined just after I was looking for a fix to the windows going down each time the door is opened on my vert. It also was a ten second fix that was posted here.
