Ok, so I'm probably over thinking such a trivial matter, but here goes anyway.

I have a white GT with Sat NAV. I've had the roof wrapped gloss black, as well as my antenna. However, since the antenna was small and round, it ended up with a bunch of fingers in it around the base. This bothers me.

So I figure I have 2 choices, find a used 2015+ antenna in black from a wreck, or have my current one repainted. The first option is over $100usd, the second I'm not particularly fond of, should the wrap ever come off.

A 3rd option may have come up, but I'm not sure and this is where I need the help. MMD on A.M has 2010-2014 prepainted gps covers. They have the same shape as OEM (no shark fin). Is this the same antenna that's used on the s550 but unpainted? It looks pretty close, but if I'm gonna spend 60usd I want to be sure.

Thanks for any help.

Seen a few with black roof wraps and white antennas. I actually like the look of it this way and is probably the route I’m going with once I get around to having the roof wrapped.

I know you have a coupe (I have a vert). I know yours is roof mounted and is wrapped black (my vert has a trunk mount). And I know you are looking at an OE style, not a shark fin.....

But......here is my shark fin on my convertible. I love the look of the shark fin and a contrast color helps as well.

It doesn't look bad on the trunk, I think in the roof it would be too much. I was able to find an OEM antenna in black on eBay fairly cheap.
