Vortex Generator fitment on SSS

So what exactly would I need to do to make a VG fit on my GSR with SSS?

apr makes one, if you want the chargespeed one you need to widen the opening where the antenna goes, since it's meant for non-sss cars

I see. Is it hard to make it wider? Should I take it to a body shop and have them fit it?

not sure i have the apr one, someone on the forums has the chargespeed one on an sss gsr. i'm not sure how much u need to sand down but if you sand to the fibers they can become exposed. try searching the show and shine forums, i know there's a trim that covers the top portion of the piece so that might cover where you sand it down

Where's that picture of someone who has a GG SSS and has a kind of flat gray painted VG on his car?

I can't find it.

i just attempted to put the apr one on my sss. it seemed to fit over the antenna... however, it wont stay stuck down on the part in front of the antenna, and now my siriusxm doesnt work (cause the piece is covering it)

kind of bummed cause that **** is really stuck on the car. but im gonna attempt to modify it so that it works.

I cut up the apr vg so that Sirius would work again. looks decent enough, kinda hard to do on the car and could have made it better had I not had to do it on the car... but all in all I'm happy. also noticed that it was only giving me a hard time when I was under 1000ft above sea level.
