Default a6 - looks better with or without "shark fin" antenna?

I've seen some a6's with the antenna, and I have mixed feelings on whether or not it would look good on my car. Anyone have any thoughts? Or comparison shots?

It's an ANTENNA, not a cosmetic accessory.

I like mine - it helps keep the car going straight when I drive with no hands.

Depends if the antenna is cosmetic or functional. My fin is for Sirius and GPS.

Why mess with the roof paint. You'd probally have to use glue or drill holes to mount it, for what..........to disguise it as a 2004?
There must be easier and more useful mods than that.

Default I prefer the "button" on my trunk. Classy and understated, the perfect dot...

for an exclamation point that defines a pinacle of Audi design.

But seriously, if it's not functional, I wouldn't put it on my car.

Default I kinda thought the same thing

I'm pretty much not sold on putting a fin on my car, functional or not as this is the first car I've had that doesn't have an external antenna, and love it. but when I add my RNS, I am debating about the trunk button, it's just cool, every time I see one I want to run over and see if it's pushable like the little dice dome on a sorry! game board.
