Just the fact that the ugly antenna is gone/hidden is all that matters |

i just did it.. took me about a half hour.. the bottom bolt on the antenna was a bitch and i dropped my wrench in the fender.. took me a bit to get it out.. but besides that it was cake.. too freakin easy.. and i lost no am or fm signal.. i got the plug at ace hardware for 48cents and the finished product looks sweet.. nice and clean, just how i like it..

good to hear!
Yeah there's not too much room to work with, but it's manageable & sure beats taking the fender off....lol |

I just did the antenna mod too, very easy, looks a lot better.
 the antenna never really bothered me & i'd heard of people doing it, but never really cared about it  untill I saw the pics with & without. It's amazing to me how much cleaner the car looks w/o it. Anyway good write up, made it a lot easier, thanks bro. |

no problem....just glad I could help!
I had a short rubber antenna before, but it kind of looked ghetto........this solution is 1000000 times better & FREE Plus it'll make you sooooo much faster since you won't have the drag of the antenna...lol  |

Maybe your antenna is touching the frame and the whole vehicle is just one big rolling antenna now....lol

Added a 7/8" nylon cap/plug today. Picked it up from ACE hardward for $0.65
It's in the hardware (nuts, screws, bolts) aisle in the little plastic drawers where you can buy everything individually Looks a lot better & finishes the clean look!!! It's in there super tight and isn't going anywhere and matches the cowl perfectly too! pics:      Last edited by snobrdrdan; 06-29-2007 at 11:10 PM. |

Linear Mode
