hey guys looking for some suggestions here. I have a black 99 z28 and i am thinking about cleaning up the look of it, such as removing badges and the antenna. The badges on there are gold and the side ones say z28 ls1 the back is just z28 should i leave them on or take them off also how about the antenna? I have a billet grill on the car might help you guys

Shaving is the way to go. If you don't have the money to truely shave the antenna, you can unscrew the antenna, cut the threaded post flush, file it, then paint it. Looks much cleaner and it doesn't really cost anything.
Here's a pic of mine.

You can also get another lower mast and relocate the antenna to inside the quarter panel, that's worked decent for some people.

i think that he was saying if you dont have the money to buy a retractable or other kit then that is a mod you can do, but yeah, shaving and removing the badges would look good
