Hi, is that shark fin antenna an original spare part? Was it difficult to instal? Some sh*thead stole my antenna yesterday, so I am thinking of mounting this shark fin instead, so it wouldn't be so tempting to steal... Those classic sticks are really easy to unscrew.

It's an aftermarket part made by Visual Garage. I ordered it off Amazon - the one they advertise for the Prius C, but it also fits the Yaris fine. It was easy to install. It just takes a bit of measuring/masking-tape (or a really good eye) to put it on perfectly centered and straight. Also, they paint it with the Toyota OEM color code, so that it matches perfectly with the body of the car. I'm happy with it.

I looked at your photos a number of times, but I missed the shark fin. It looks very good!

Great, thank you. Any problems with the radio reception?

Seems to be the same as the stock Toyota OEM antennae, though I haven't ventured outside the city and suburbs much yet.
