Default Bmw fin antenna on ED7??

Did anyone thought of doing this on civic?
Tried searching on google, nothing came out......
Im not a electric wiring guy, so i dont know if its possible?

Im thinking like a 330i fin antenna and functional, that i can really use it for my radio.

This thought is still lingering in my head as well but for on a crx. I was considering replacing my rear squirter nozzle with it and was curious if the sunroof would clear it when open but also didnt know if a sunroof half over top it would interfere with reception. I hate the factory antenna and would like to put my delete plate back in that hole if I could find a suitable alternative.

Do like I'm doing. All auto parts places and eBay carry hidden antenna's. They mount inside the car on the windshield by your mirror. I am doing this later today. I have my oem antenna block off plate and the antenna I pocked up at work for $13, I'll post pics later after I do it.

i tried having no stereo in my car for almost a year, after someone stole it. Not going to do it again, until i fix all the squeaking sound in and out of my car.........

does that windshield antenna really works? does the blue tint block some of the frequency?

I also wanted to have that look on my hatch, i mean its not JDM but IMO it looks clean.....

Yea the antenna works great. No problems as of yet. The tint doesn't affect it, but it does hide it from sight on the out side.
