CF antenna cover
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon...._AC_US218_.jpg
I was browsing Amazon for M2 stuff and came across this. For $40 I bought it. Real CF that fits right on top of the antenna adhered with 3M tape. It compliments the CF spoiler rather well. Sorry, no installed pics.

Thanks for this. Would you mind linking the amazon listing itself please (the link is only to a picture). My roof is wrapped in gloss black as is the antenna. The antenna is the weak point of the wrap I think, so this would be a perfect solution. Any degradation in satellite or FM reception?

FM/AM are most likely received by lines in the back glass. the sharkfin on the roof is not large enough for a useful radio antenna. It is likely just holding GPS and SiriusXM... I would not want to put CF over a GPS antenna because I'm not sure if CF is transparent to GPS frequencies (I suspect it isn't).

Carbon is not radio-transparent so you may well be making the signal worse but have just not gotten it bad enough due to other factors to lose reception. I'd guess that driving through a rainstorm or in a dense forest or other GPS-challenging situations might show different results.
