Comments

Despite Josh's very helpful paint code listing, I'd like you to msg me your codes still since I will NOT be responsible for ordering the wrong color. The onus is on you (the buyer) to make sure this is right. Not me.

They're already custom paint matched so they're easy to install. Simple stick on. I have this on my ride and have no problems with any reception (AM or FM) even in Country Victoria.

Important !! You only lose one thing by installing the shark fin.
No Vortex Generator for you. I'm certain of it.
The only way is silly, you'll have to get individual fins or cut up Shadow's Vortex generator.

Some people have asked me where I've got my antenna from so I've taken the liberty to get in touch with Thanks to Billyboy's GREAT idea, I'm proud to announce we're collaborating with the OZMazda club for this group buy.

The price now is fixed at A$85.00 for the Sharkfin, shipped to NSW (probably to Ozie's place). At most it's another A$5 to onward ship it somewhere else in Australia. A$2.75 more will register it to give you peace of mind. VIC orders will be group shipped to me.

When i wanted to buy one, the aussie dollar dropped. Now that it's...coming up a bit again (not for long ...) i'd love to get one especially at a cheaper price.

Put me down for a Wicked White one.

Chuck us down for a Rally Red one for now

This group buy will take a couple of weeks to mount up i think lol

Ive taken the liberty of removing 'VG' from the title - because I thought this was referring to Shadows sharkfin thing.

From memory, it doesnt.

there must be a way....
i know it does not fit with the stock antenna and it the VG has to be cut to fit it...maybe the same with this....

i might still see if i can give it a go..!

The price bracket is shown in the first post. He's given us only 5% for a group buy of up to 15 pieces. I personally think it's still a good deal as postage (group shipped) for each piece at 15pieces will come to <US$5.

I've asked to be pushed to the next bracket and have been rejected. So the price is going to be

US$65.55 each and split of US$40 worth of shipping.
Don't think you'll get much more.
ONLY 5 people to date. Not enough.

Right, with Billyboy on board, we can initiate a purchase.

The Price for 5-15 pieces will be US$65.55 each.
Group Shipping to NSW will be US$50.00 total.

So you're looking at about US$76 or A$ 104 each.

How many are on board?

Just a thought, should the club take the plunge to buy another 11 more and bring down the price further? As an investment and aid future interested people to purchase at a lower rate?

11 doesn't seem to hard to sell.

Well a few more are jumping in, how long is this offer valid?

I think if we do order a few extra's they will sell over time, I recall over at Mazda forums ran a few sharkfin GB's with good take up every time.
