just wanted to get some feedback on my newest appearance idea. i really hate how my antenna sticks up and is just there. i would get a power antenna, but i never listen to the radio (either cds or the ls1). so i was thinking of just removing the antenna all together and make the right rear side flush. anyone done this before? if i remove the antenna will it set off anything or alter the car in any way? thanks!

Sounds like a neat idea, although you would have nasty little hole tha would need repairing and repainting. It would be simpler and cheaper to do the power antenna. I put a manula overide switch in mine so the antenna is virtually always down.

OR, you could shorten your antenna like i did (too lazy to run wire for a power ant..LOL).. i suppose I will eventually do the power on when I upgrade the stereo but for now the shorter one looks pretty darn good..

Ultimatily I would shave the antenna completely (hole filled and quarter re-painted) and use an antenna the sticks to the inside of the fender (the type rods guys sometimes use.. ie hidden antenna)..

Steve how did you shorten yours. Did you just cut it, if so what did you use to clean up the cut area. Also how much did yu cut and was the reception altered.

I heard theres a way u can hide it in the wheel well and still work fine!.. i guess u would bend it up and around as the shap of the well.. not to sure tho.. just an idea.
