I have a '01 allroad and the rubber base of the antenna on the roof is cracking
and im worried about it coming off.
im looking into a shark fin antenna http://www.visualgarage.com/home.html
they custom paint the cover to match your car but I dont want some shiny thing on my plastic? roof
anyone have any ideas what info I should give them for the closest match?
they want a color code for it but ive looked all over the net and cant find anything

 

I'd just say a flat matte black... glossy would probably look horrible. But then again, I can't match my shirt to my pants.

 

Mine already came off lol
about fin antenna, would it have poorer reception compared to the original antenna?

 

yeah def. agree on the gloss looking horrible
ill go with matte flat black
and about the reception they say its not as good as stock
but better than most replacements
if i do end up getting it ill post pics and let you know about it
the cars sitting in the dealership right now though
they havent let me know whats wrong but theyre guessing
a front driveline or axle shaft is warped
started noticing a lot of vibrating through the steering wheel and gas pedal
while highway cruising after going on a "spirited" drive last weekend
its still waiting to get approved as the repair is under extended warranty but
over $2,000!
