Did the 2020 mustang have the shark fin antenna’s? From the pics I have seen, it looks like just a small bubble. In 2021, why did Ford bring it back the shark fin? I think it looks better without.

Shark pin comes with 12 speakers option. So yes 2020 model does have shark pin if the radio option is selected.

It Depends on the build date. The 20's started their production run with the bubble (my 20 has the bubble) but switched to the shark fin during the production run.

I actually prefer the look of the shark fin and wouldn't mind to switch mine out if I was able.

In this day and age, I don’t even know why vehicle manufactures even need to hard mount any such bubble or shark fin to the body for antenna signals.

In my 94 Cobra, I have had Sirius - and I never mounted the antenna outside on the trunk lid or roof as recommended. It’s on the rear deck, facing out the window and gets 100% perfect signal, without any interruption or interference. It’s been that way for a good 10+ years now...

In modern day cars, the same could be done; mount the antenna either in top of front dash or top of rear deck - stop mounting ugly ass bubbles or fins to the roofs....

I just think the shark fin looks so very cool. I like to think of it as a directional aerodynamic device. It keeps my Mustang pointed straight ahead.
Just be careful not to get caught in a high crosswind.

I couldn't agree more... My other car which is from 2018 has the antenna hidden in the roof panel and it looks way better and cleaner...
I don't mind the fin on my 2020 GT but no antenna is just much more smooth looking

No, it actually helps to bring the back end back in line at high yaw ... :giggle:
