I know there's a couple of universal ones that will basically fit any car. But definitely doesn't hurt to have the measurements before hand.

thank you S.gaspar..that guy was a douche and a half

so i went ahead and got one for the evo 8 or 9 VGs and did what the guy said about the Mirage guys using them..i cut the taps and got a attenna to fill the middle hole...we fitted it today an it is a little off but doesnt look bad at all i figured it wouldnt be perfect and it looks pretty cool ill post some pics later today or tmmr

thanks for the help fellas

It looks as good as it can get without having a radius matched fit. Nice touch, nice car man. The IV got me into this whole mess. Gran Turismo 1 FTW.

I think the OP is actually the one being rude throughout this thread. Hes getting all pissy because no one wants to do HIS research for free. OP it couldve been solved in all of maybe 12 hours. Simply pm or message a vendor such as speed element for the dimensions and then take your measurments. Dont go all ape**** because no one wants to take the time to do the work for you.As for the 6 posted above with the fake cf vg.....it looks like crap and fits like crap. Just spend the money on the real deal. If you want to half-*** it over saving $200 just buy the spikes that stick on individually.

thats cool man i wasnt trying to come off as a d head but i just figured it would be easy for someone to measure one out for me....anyways i know it doesnt look perfect but it does the job i was just going for giving it a little new school Evo style..it doesnt look bad in person and i got the result i expected

ooh and ImJoey you can go ahead and keep smoking pole since im sure thats what your doing down there in South FL..i lived in FL too so i know how you **** are
