Sirus Antenna

The black antenna on my white vehicle looks out of place. Has anyone replaced/painted their antenna?

Only real expensive antennas can be painted... painting can affect recpetion.

I see what you mean... your black tires must also look out of place...

If I'm not mistaken, the antenna is for sat radio, navigation, and tel aid.

On a side note, on the newer models (E, E Coupe) the antennas are color matched. With the exception of Pano models with get black ones to blend in.
