Default Getting rid of the fin?

I could care less about xm radio and I was wondering if anyone knows about having that damn fin on the top of the car removed? I think it looks retarded.

I wonder if you can order the car without it?

thoughts on the subject anyone?

If you really wanted to, I could see no reason why you could not get rid of it. Many people have gotten rid of their 4th gen antenna's. I wouldn't want to be hacking at it, but if you have the time and money...

Why the hell didn't they make it so you could order a damn Camaro without one?! For ****'s sake, it should have been an option in the first place.

I thought that antenna was for Onstar, not satellite radio.

They used to be seperate antenna's, but I believe they have merged them into one

Hmm. Well maybe sometime in the future there will be a relocation kit or a less noticeable option. Looks like Im stuck with it for now.

I just assumed xm because on the chevy website if you click on the damn fin it says stuff about xm radio.
