In a few weeks car is going to shop to get hood, wing (already painted), louvers painted and installed. I got additional quote on antenna delete. Shocked extra $220 roughly. But I am going to do it. I found a few write ups. Seems the Metra UA-205 Amplified windshield mount antenna is a good idea.

My question.... why can't i just splice into factory antenna cable once antenna is removed? Anyone have other suggestions for an antenna?

The coax cable provides a shield that protects the very small antenna signal from stray noise that would swamp-out and corrupt the desired signal. A splice degrades that shield. A proper coupling would still degrade the signal, just not as much. This mating connector might provide acceptable performance.

Thanks worth $3 dollars to take a shot and see what happens.

This is a great looking mod, please keep us updated, especially if you can get it all to work out flawlessly; I just might want to give it a try myself. The stock antenna looks out of place to me on the S197 bodies.

I had the whole sound system removed including antennae, along with the a/c, heater, and loads of other stuff....so I can at least show you what the car looks like without the antennae. Also deleted the GT emblems.

Looks good makes it look smooth


Thought about emblems and door handles but too much money for all that. HAHA
