HELP with vortex generator!

On my EVO right now I don't have a vortex generator. I don't even have the antenna How should I do if I want to put on my vortex generator?

Do I have to glue a bracket with antenna on my roof before installing the vortex generator? And where can I buy this bracket if there is such thing?

Thanks

I dont really understand what your saying...There is no bracket required to attach the antenna. It simply screws in. Are there threads in the back of your car? Maybe you should attach some photos.

As for the VG most of them are just attached by double stick tape. You will need to pull off the weather stripping on both sides and it sits right under there. Its really strait foward.

Are you concerned because you'll have a hole in your VG since you don't have an antenna to stick through it? If that's the case you'll have to MacGuyver a patch for it.

I got mine for around $100 and it took me 15 minutes to have it installed, excellent fit and finish.

Paid more for my seibon CF piece but somebody decided to pull it off my car the other night while I was sleeping. Rexpeed is good also. Why on earth don't you have an antenna?
