VG Shark Fin Antenna
I got mine from these guys and they are great. www.visualgarage.com
The first painting to factory paint code 8T0 was a hair off and they re-did it for me no questions asked sending me a new one and had me return the original after I got the replacement. They had me send photo's in three different light conditions; indoor garage, shade and direct sun. From all the feedback on their website I think they usuall get it right the first time.

What year did you pick when ordering (they only go up to 2009--no 2010 or 2011)?

As a general rule, shark fin antenna manufacturers warn that they may cause decreased reception compared to a whip style. It's much more of a cosmetic mod than a reception improvement.

What alternatives are there? I really hate the stock on my hatch, it's gigantic. Was thinking something smaller.

You can get them from eBay, online... I snagged an OEM one from a '10 Toyota Matrix. Reception is still fine.
