    i want the shark fin antenna any advice is reception better does it effect mpg. I think the door moulding is a no brainer. Are window rain deflectors worth it how much do they effect mpg omg my car is in.

    I think the consensus on the shark fin antenna on other threads is that there is no improvement in reception. Some have noticed decreased reception, but I haven't seen anything on mpg stats comparing the shark fin to the OEM antenna. I would guess that the rain deflectors would have a greater impact on MPG due to the larger surface area and drag compared to the shark fin. :)

    You may want to search other threads to see if anyone has posted anything about mpg hits with exterior mods.
