go to your local hardware store and find a plastic cap and seal it on the backside with silicone?

What about using a plug from the backside and then use touch up paint to flush it up with the body? It won't be perfect, but it would be better than stickers?

I just used JBWeld from inside the quarterpanel (where spare tire is) and made a large flat rectangle piece. Pushed it up against the QP until it stuck, let it dry, then from the top, pushed a large circle in to fill the gap between the JBweld inside the fender and the fender line. Then sanded smooth. Masked off around the area and shot it with some touch up spray and clear. Came out alright. Obviously not the best but it'll work until I get a professional to weld it and paint the whole car.

It's held up for over 4 years now.

I need to take pics of mine. I left the 1/2" rubber grommet that's around the base of the antenna there pulled the antenna out and hid it in the fender well. I happened to have a new body clip (think inner fender) that was the exact right size that I pulled apart for the top piece. It slid right in. I mainly wanted to be able to put a car cover on mine with no trouble and didn't wanna pay for a power one. It's not flush, but looks good.

To do it right, it needs a patch welded, filled, painted. Sucks since that cost some $$$. You could "Cap" if you find the right piece but I think it looks hack. IMO.

Seen a few cars with it filled and painted and you hear the comments on where the attenna went.

I agree do it right I kinda laughed at the guy that said his car was in paint lol. That is the perfect time to do it. When I paint mine in the future I plan on shaving door locks,truck lock,atenn.and door handles

^ Exactly, plan around it.

Also Metallic paints require more blending in so if your doing it, plan on a good amount of the car getting painted, for it to "look" right. Base colors you can get away with a 1/4 panel or even just the upper half.
