Why Doesn't MB Paint Match The Roof Antenna?
You would think on a $70k car they would paint the antenna to match the car... it appears they only paint it for Iridium Silver or Black. Why do they not paint match the other colors?

Interesting. I never noticed. My question is why are the IS antenna match-painted but not the other colors?

The antenna is required more for Satellite radio then anything. Many cars these days build the standard radio antenna's into the rear window (or use the defroster as the antenna).
What I want to know is.. why no HD radio damnit.. its been around for years...

Or when you lifted the center console and there was a phone in there with the big clear buttons that lit up green...
Or everytime you saw an Acura or Supra with the retracting antenna and you thought how loaded the driver must be...
Ahh those were the days...

I didn't like the contrast of the black antenna on a white roof... so I decided to paint the roof black instead of the antenna white... go figure... j/k hahahaha!

Remember when you saw a car with that stupid atenna stuck on the back window, the car/cell phone atennna, and you thought, "Damn that guy has some major money to have one of those..."
Or when you lifted the center console and there was a phone in there with the big clear buttons that lit up green...
Or everytime you saw an Acura or Supra with the retracting antenna and you thought how loaded the driver must be...
