You'll really love the belt line when you're done.

Costs $29.99. I haven't noticed any change in reception. That said, I listen to Sirius most of the time.

Thanks for the info. I just ordered one. I had been using the 2 inch antenna from MINIMANIA, but it just doesn't have a seamless fit with the housing like the Alta.

It's 11 pm here so I couldn't get a great picture of the ends in the garage. This was the best pic I could get:

That's the edge of the driver's side door.

The great thing about getting 150' is that you can take it off and redo a section if it isn't exactly what you want!

Its sad....I called 2 of my suppliers and they cant find that number even though i know its good when i saw it on that site you posted.

Looks great on Black/Black! I tried it on my DS/DS (using electrical tape, just to gauge the appearance) and wasn't feeling it so I removed it.

Yep, same day - since I had the camera out any way for the bumpers/skirts, thought I'd snap a pic of the new driveway apron :smile:

Let me know how you like it. Changes the look of the car more than I thought and only takes about 15 seconds to change.

PS: Saw in your signature that you're doing the aero grill next. YOU'LL LOVE IT!! I found it MUCH easier than the posts led me to believe.

They ship pretty quick. Got the roll in less than a week. Here's another supplier that people have posted:

I got it from Terry's because it was about $10 less.

jammin636- it only requires removing one screw/bolt unless you want to do the frame as well (I did not)- easy and cheap mod
