Antenna Shave ?
 
I really would like to get rid of my antenna as i try to follow a clean and sleek look (no shark fins please ).

i obviously know the right way to do it is to fill up the holes and paint them, but is there any other way that anybody could recommend ?

@SLICVIC did it to his brz by covering the holes up with blue vinyl, im going to take a look/ disassemble the antenna this weekend and would appreciate feed back


:thanks:

do you have different plans for the radio or just skipping it for all mobile/smartphone music?

after im done with the shave maybe i can relocate the wires to a the trunk and run somethings to achieve a stronger signal, but i rarely use my radio and don't mind living without it for a clean/sleek look

Weld in a patch, then body/paint work. There is no other way to shave it and not have it look half assed

I'm not welding anything on my roof! Patching the roof with vinyl could do the job, it's not perfect but hopefully will make it work

I do agree that the proper way would need the holes filled up

get the roof vinyl wrapped, it should look alot cleaner than just vinyl circle patches

i really dont want to change the color, and i don't know if i can find a color close to OEM.

can you share a picture of the holes on your antenna ? i kinda got the inspiration look from a side picture of your car which looked SO CLEAN

i agree. any antenna looks weird to me. and radio is absolutely horrible
