A plug will look like shit. IF your going to do it have someone remove the headliner and weld it up. On our cars one can easily just paint the roof as there is 2 black seam strips that can be removed and use to hide the edge of the paint.

Note the roof is aluminum make sure the shop has can tig it or has a spool gun w/ enough experience. Its very thin and won't be hard for a new guy to fuck it up.

If your that worried about the antenna you can pick up one that you can stick to the inside of your back window. No one will ever know and there will be zero loss in signal/function.

Figuring 4 hours for some one to patch the hole to perfecting with a minimal thin skim layer of metal glaze (filler) on top. 3.5 labor to paint it. 0.3 to remove/install both roof moldings. 4.4 hours to drop the roof liner. 0.2 to remove the antenna base. Plus $150.00 to cover paint an materials... you looking about a total of $843.00 to do it right.
