How to install cf shark fin?

krnshinsa · 03-10-2009, 04:30 PM

I bought a cf fin from jw tuning and just received it. Is it suppose to fit directly on the current fin? If thats the case it doesn't fit at all. Or are you suppose to remove the original cover of the fin? (if there is one)

Autobot · 03-10-2009, 04:47 PM

No it is supposed to fit right over the original fin

KkSc · 03-10-2009, 04:58 PM

it just a cover that covers your original fin!!

krnshinsa · 03-10-2009, 05:20 PM

wtf bullshit this doesn't even fit at all!

He said I had to take off the fin. Its just a straight cover nothing inside. Plus he's not replying to my pm's

Pictures of the underside would help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

krnshinsa · 03-11-2009, 01:39 PM

pics. Its a hollow cover but I thought that its just like cyba's overlay and it goes directly on the oem shark fin? Instead he told me that I have to take my oem shark fin off and replace it with the cf one....which is odd because I thought there would be wiring underneath......And to top it all off while I was taking the pics I noticed the cf weave from the back side bunches up and swirls....thats not suppose to happen right?

KkSc · 03-11-2009, 01:54 PM

well..as i see the pic above, it looks like a Overlay to me, but it doesn't cover you Oem fin, so if he said that is not a overlay, and you supposed to take of your Oem fin to fit this, it's kind of non sense, since i saw your CF fin is empty inside, and there is not way you can attach on the roof, then how this work????prove me wrong!!

i know right? is the backside suppose to be like that? anyone with a cyba cf fin can chime in?

dukevi · 03-11-2009, 02:37 PM

Isnt the white paper thing a double sided tape? which leads to a conclusion that it is a cover?

KkSc · 03-11-2009, 02:48 PM

Yes,currently I m using cyba's cf fin, mine is supposed to cover all the oem fin!it doesn't look lie the pics from you, the pics youshown which 90% looks like a overlay to me, now you should talk to jw tuning about the fitment issue, or ask him to provide a installtion guide to u!

KnightsCapone · 03-11-2009, 03:53 PM

I have a CF fin and it fit over my existing OEM fin..fittment was way better than your pics..I used 3m tape but would say install from the fat part to the front..mine is a little snug on back. But overall looks good! looks like urs is to small..mine is flush with roof

KnightsCapone · 03-11-2009, 03:56 PM

check to see if e90 and e92 have different size fins..mine is a e90 and looks identical to ur pics

Soni · 03-11-2009, 03:57 PM

the CF fin look too small to me!!

GGreek5 · 03-11-2009, 03:59 PM

I got one from Cyba a while ago that fits fine, but my Sirius radio doesnt work when its on.

KkSc · 03-11-2009, 04:19 PM

yeah..maybe he gave you the wrong fin that used to go on E90???

krnshinsa · 03-11-2009, 05:25 PM

I looked at one of cyba's old cf shark fin thread and found that E90 and E92 share the exact same shark fin according to cyba.
