I purchased this shark fin when I purchased my USP spoiler, both for $100, I was purchasing the spoiler for $75 and he offered to sell me the fin for another $25 so I figured why not. I wish I could afford to get the navigation system to have a real use for the fin, but havent found an affordable Nav. system. I feel wierd installing the shark fin for no reason other than looks. So I ask for your opinion. I modified the bottom to be installed without damaging the shark fin. Please vote, install the shark fin or dont install, check out the pictures.

IMO they look silly at best, so to install one and not get any benefit out of it would be a big no for me. Hell, I'd have a hard time installing one on my car even if it was going to be hooked up to a nav system.

Would you install a FMIC on a car with no turbo? Lesser extent, same concept.

If the fin poses no real practical use for you then don't bother. Yeah it looks cool but like a spoiler it's cosmetic and adds drag. I have to admit though, I think a lip spoiler is very functional when doing 200kph on the highway lol

I feel the same way about the roof fin. Yeah it looks nice, but I feel dorky trying to look "cooler". My wife liked the way it looked, but I thought it looked too busy on the roof. I wont be installing it, unless I do get a navigaton system. in the future. Thanks for the input from everyone.
