Shark fin for 09 lancer?

I found this on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TQ:MOTORS:1123.
I contacted them and they said it would fit the 09 gts (with gps). Anyone have some input on if it will fit?

yes i have the 09 lancer with navi and fits perfectily....
radio reception is same as before, navi function are same as before

only thing that i didnt like was the location of the actual antenna would look better if it was further back. but it still looks grea.

Advise to those that live in a cold area and do not have the ability to get a blow dryer to the car as the instructions state.
Just replace the blow dryer with a bag of hot water(food storeage bag)
Place the bag of hot water on the roof of the car and it will warm up area while you are working(instructions say that the ahesive is pressure and tempature sensitive)

That looks sharp. How well does it stick? In the winter I tend to take my car to the car wash and I don't want it to pop off.

nah it has a 3m adhesive gasket which should never just come off if you install it correctly. i just got mine in the mail today and have not installed it yet but it looks really nice. you just need to be sure you remove any wax or anything on your paint with rubbing alcohol and heat up the fin and roof area with a hair dryer if its not hot out. and fyi i used to manage a carwash and work at one part time now and if a carwash ever breaks a part of your car it would be their responsibility to fix it or replace it. i would not worry about it.

Thanks for the info White... I didn't realize how ugly the stock antenna was until I saw the fin. I think i will have to order one.
