Default S197 Antenna delete

I found this doing some searching around, great idea for someone wanting to lose the radio antenna...

Looks very nice and clean. I didn't like the length of the stock fishing pole antenna so I simply took it to the shop, cut it in half, beveled the end, hammered the ball back on, painted it and bam, $0 later I have a nice looking antenna with no radio frequency loss.

UPR offers this antenna delete. No body work required.

Has anyone installed a glass mount antenna? I'm sort of curious what it looks like. I've been looking at getting the UPR delete for awhile, was gonna get it anodized black.

I've used the glass mount antenna. They work okay, not great, but okay. Depending on which delete kit you're looking at, it IS available in black anodized. That's what I run on my own car.

That's what I did minus putting the ball back on

I had mine deleted completely by a bodyshop and just bought a tunetrapper antenna and stuck it to the inside of the roof between the headliner and roof and the radio works just fine.

Being an old guy, I went old school. I put a Metra electric antenna in the right rear fender right about where the new model's antenna is. It works like a charm and looks much better. I did learn the hard way to put an interlock in the trunk, because the wing on the trunk lid took out the first one.
