Hey, how much do you guys think a body shop would charge me to "shave" my antenna? I am supposed to bring my car for paint on Monday. I have a fixed antenna and I am thinking about having it removed and filled. Would it be better to get a power antenna, or "shave" the one I have?

 

shave it i shaved mine and it looks perfect!!!

 

jerry if you shaved it then how do you get radio reception? Im not sure how well it would work without it. But im just wondering.

 

You can buy in window Tape antennas that come with booster and will pick up more stations than your whip antenna could ever imagine. That is if they sell them in the states.........Which I am sure they do?

 

wtf seriously? im getting rid of mine it looks nasty same as the windshield wiper but i think i need that everything is getting shaved cause it all leaked and rusted at one point.

 

Yeha i searched I can only find them in japan web sites

 

If you listen to the radio alot I'd either keep it, or if I would shave it get a window antenna. I'm probably gonna have mine shaved eventually but thats far off on my priority list. Don't know how much it would cost though.

This place has the window antenna with booster, a little over 3/4 the way down the page.

 

i usually listen to my gangsta rap cd's and so i dont have a use for it. But when other people come along they dont like that stuff

 

Get satellite radio.
Remove OTA antenna.
Live happy.

I haven't listened to local radio in over a year since I got Sirius

 

couldnt you just get a s2k antenna?

 

Thank you for all of the replies. I think I might be going with a power antenna. On Monday i'll update you guys.

 

this one guy ive seen on eBay sells an antenna that looks a lot like an s2k antenna and i have one and it looks awesome and gets really good reception. it was like 20 bucks too. im really happy with it.

 

Screw the window antenna... Go to AutoLoc's website they've got a 'hot rod hidden antenna' picks up more than any of the previous antenna's mentioned and you can put it in your truck or wherever

Just pour gallons of bondo in the tiny whole till it's enough to sand even with the fender, LMFAO...

 

Yeah...........That is a good idea just fill your trunk with bondo too that way you don't miss a spot.

 

I shaved mine and havn't had any problem with reception at all. I'd either go satelite or just get an antennae booster
