TBH, I wanted the shark fin antenna to not fit through the opening because I think if the shark fin antenna was removed for install then reinstalled it would sit on top of the carbon overlay and it would look better that way.

Please post pics of the antenna not fitting through when you can. Thanks.

yeah i'll have to figure out a way to mount it on top, dont think there will be enough material to mount it to the carbon, probably gonna have to just space it up off the roof. not gonna chance touching the carbon with the dremel

not sure if i'll be able to get pics tonight up tonight but hopefully by tomorrow

edit: should probably clarify more, the hole isn't physically big enough for my antenna to go through, gonna have to take a dremel or something to it to lengthen the opening

Here are pics of the roof clearing the shark fin antenna just fine. Not sure why your antenna isn't clearing. There is no modification required to the CF roof for install.

I don't know why two of the pics are cut off but if you click the pictire or the empty box it will take you to the image on flickr.

probably kind of hard to tell in the pictures but the tip of my antenna goes into where the carbon is and there's a small gap behind the antenna

Did you see the pics I posted? It fits right over the antenna on my car just fine? And one of the ones you picked up was the one I test fitted the day before.

You should try adjusting the antenna if possible by loosening that screw and seeing if it will move back a bit. Can you also take a pic as it is right now with the antenna cover sitting in the opening.
From the first pic it looks like it will fit in the opening? Does it not fit there?

have you actually permanently mounted yours yet? because in the pictures your rear passenger side corner is sticking up off the car just like mine does with the antenna on. with the antenna off the entire overlay lays perfectly flat on the roof. antenna can't be adjusted

Did you see the pics where that right passenger corner lays flat with me holding it down, thats with the antenna cover on. Look at the last two pics. Also, did you click the second pic, the one thats cut off? That shows that the overlay completely went thru the opening for the antenna on the overlay.

I haven't permanently mounted mine yet becauae I am going to have my body shop do it for me, professional install was advised for a reason. Perhaps there is some difference between pre-LCI vs LCI antenna cover?

I really do wish the first installed example was installed professionally, not anything against you or DIY but lining this overlay up and mounting it properly aligned to the roof is a task for 2 maybe 3 very patient and skilled people.

My car will be getting this mounted soon and then I'll post installed pics.

the fact that you have to hold it down with your hand should tell you it's not fitting right.. lol i guarantee if you took your antenna off it would lay completely flush with the car, no need to hold it down (if you install it like that there's going to be constant pressure pulling on the tape in that corner and i'm sure it will eventually lift up)


mine isn't installed yet, waiting to figure out the antenna before i mount it.


i didn't come here to defend it not fitting though. just wanted to let people know that i don't believe it fits right to give them a heads up, if yours fits that's great

I think I'm going with 4D vinly for mine. Hopefully you get it to fit! You might want to set it on your roof and let it sit outside in the sun for a few hours so it somewhat molds the shape to the roof.

Installed mine today, and here are some pics:

I had the roof wrapped in CF vinyl before, to install the overlay, the body shop applied silicone since the 3M double tape won't stick too well on the surface of vinyl, and to remove vinyl would cost extra $$$. Also used silicone to connect the overlay and windshield, removed the factory rubber seal, do it this way to ensure the overlay won't be blown over when travelling at high speed.

Don't trust this guy! He is selling roofs that don't fit properly.
