I'm looking for a new antennae for my tiburon 06. I'm going for looks and I am looking at the 5" one on ebay for $15. Its carbon fiber, how well do they work and got any other sugestions?

I'd like to replace the Gen Coupe shark fin with a good antenna. The 2008 Accent one works good but is pretty expensive from the dealer.

^Isn't the shark fin just for XM? My Veloster fin is for the XM and the FM antenna is in the rear glass. Those cheap ebay ones suck for reception! I had one on my Elantra and couldn't use the radio while the car was moving....

Yes the shark fin is just for the satellite. But the FM/AM grid antenna is the worst I have ever seen on a car.

I just got the antennae in the mail today and it didn't fit It had a thing where I put the car in and it said that it was compatible with my car, so I'm trying to get a refund. Any ideas what will actually work.

Does your current antenna tip/mast unscrew?
