I would just do the antenna. Thats just my .02. I am sure that what ever you do, it will come out nice.

Fill in the holes from the grille insert. That would be what I would do if I were to get the car redone.

ive had my car forever now and i dont think my door key has ever even been used...much less in the trunk and that black piece of metal that covers the keyhole that you insert the key into is gone..so you can see the guts of the mechanism, thats why i opted to fill it it..

Yeah well I never listen to the radio when I drive anyway so if I was in your shoes I would shave the antenna. The keyholes and stuff I'd be leary about for the one day the battery dies in the fob but I'm a little paranoid like that.

ya my 96 firebird has shaved doors with pop locks (got 2 kits if u wanna buy them) but if u shave everything how you gonna get in when it dies? I already had to climb through the hatch when i bought the car

Well, yeah. If you can see the guts of the key hole in the hatch, then I would fill it in. If you want to make it really look clean, thay make a cover for the door. I believe that they just snap around the key hole, and it makes it look smooth. I am thinking about doing that, but not until I get my keyless entry redone.

So, yes to the rear key hole and yes to the antenna. Post some pics when your all done. I would like to see some, and I am sure that there are some other people out there that would like to see them as well. Good luck!

Holy thread revival. I think Afterthoughts Auto has stick-on keyhole covers.
