I used an angle grinder, took care of it rather quickly. Then I went up to radio shack and found a little black rubber tip and put it over the end that I cut and it looked perfectly normal.

Can't you just unscrew it out? I thought you could..

Yes, it unscrews. He's referring to trimming it down to make it less noticeable.

Same here. Cut mine half length. Then I just touched up the end with a dab of enamel paint, looked fine.

If anyone doesn't want to cut their own but wants a half-height for cheap let me know

Hacksaw, Dremel, angle grinder, bench grinder, etc. You could also be creative and take MAPP gas to it and bend it into cool shapes.

If you cut it to the wrong length, it can drive bad frequencies into the radio and burn out the tuner. This is especially true on sunny days where solar activity can syncronize the bandwidth. If the antenna gets warm that means sunspots are affecting it -don't turn on the radio or it'll explode. If you cut it be sure to check with the FCC in case you are causing interferance.

this is why I haven't cut mine plus you can buy a shorter one from VatoZone or O'Rilleys for like 10 or 15 dollars, plus if you cut it to short its harder to pick up radio stations

I just looked it up. Article 6 Section 14 of the FCC Civilian Code says "... no automotive antenna is to be below 4 inches in length, as to cause undue interference on lower frequencies in the wavelength. Under such violation, a federal felony is imposed with a fine of no less than $700 and/or up to one (1) year in prison as appointed by a federal judge in a U.S. Circuit Court..."

Yeah, I wouldn't mess with the antenna either.
