Part number is the same one mentioned in this thread, and I asked for the 07 RX350 antenna from my dealer. It is about $47 CDN including tax.

are you saying the bottom bells out a bit around the antenna base, that is my problem with the s2000 antenna that I have, I know on the vw's guys have been trimming a but of plastic from the end to make it blend better

maybe this is what you mean?

It does not only bells out (we're talking about 4mm here), but you cannot screw it on as the screw is way inside the rubber on the RX350 antenna.
