I had mine shaved. The body shop welded the hole shut and filled it. Can't even tell it was there now. Out cars have a second antena in the rear glass. Doesn't work good for am though, but I never use it.

Yes that's exactly what I was told about welding a little metal circle in there and then smoothing it out.
I have no idea how much it would cost to do it because I'm having it done while the car is being painted and by a friend. I would guess it would be expensive though since they have to take out the antenna by taking out the panels inside the trunk on the right side, then welding that hole, then filling it and smoothing it out, and then repainting that entire panel.
I will definetaly post pictures when it's done. I took some pictures of the car while its in the first stages of being painted that I will also post by the end of this week.

yeah look at the huge difference shaving the antenna makes!!!!! hahaha
how can you concentrate on the antenna part!
if you had a 20 foot long antenna people wouldn't even notice with a sweet car like that
this is all one huge compliment if you couldn't tell

Also was wondering, but what are those 2 flip-switches on the center console for?
