LOL actually its not a shorty, it's a stock antenna.
when i bought my car the antenna didn't work. the motor would run but the mast was stuck all the way up. i bought a replacement mast from GMPD.com and when i put it in, it goes all the way up but only will go down that far due to the old piece of broken antenna mast gear down in the motor.
as for the doorlocks, i guess you can get new trim rings for them. i was going to have the body shop paint them the last time it was in but they forgot to do them. they have been like that since i got the car. i'm guessing that at some point the paint started flaking off and the orig owner sanded the paint off completely (i'm only the second owner)

Looks great. Now, buy some door lock caps so that they don't stick out like a sore thumb.

I'll bet the original owner didn't do anything, the finish just wears off the lock - guess how I know!
As for the headlight mounting bolts, I think I put two 6" socket extensions together to get down there.
