Installed a shark fin antenna! Let me know what you think
I've always thought the focus antennas are way to long so i decided to get a shark fin to replace it.
I went and bought this antenna from www.visualgarage.com and it cost around $80. It's said to amplify the Am/Fm reception and also they paint it to match your cars paint code.
My overall review would be that I have not really noticed a difference in sound quality (more/less static, reception ect.) but it does look good, it's easy to install and I would recommend this to you guys. If you're interested you need to email them and tell them your year, make, model, coupe or sedan, and paint code. Example (2010/Ford/Focus/SES/4-Door, color code is UJ/Sterling Gray Metallic)
Here are some pics of how it looks on my car
