Default any way to remove stock antenna?

I want to remove the huge antenna and get the $20 wireless one that goes up by my rearview mirror. But if I do this what do I do with the stock hole on the fender. Does anyone make a 07 gt black fender without the antenna cutout, or would I just have to go to a body shop and pay a **** load of money to get them to bondo fill it in and repaint my whole passenger side of my car. Any opinions would be appreciated thanks Jason

I think about the cleanest way is to have a body shop fill teh holes and paint.

Good luck!

How much did it cost to get the hole filled and painted all together?

Don't get it bondo'd...

Get them to do it properly and have them weld in the hole and sand it and do it properly...you'll thank yourself in a couple years...bondo is not a "forever" fix...I talked to a body shop about doing it to my car...

yes the welding is a bit more expensive, but its the RIGHT way of doing it...same if you want to de-badge teh "GT" off the fender...

Well I dont think I wanna bother getting the antenna hole filled in. So do you guys know of any place to buy a small like 6 to 8 inch antenna. It won't matter if it works or not, since I'm still gonna add the amplified antenna to the inside front windshield.

I had the antenna and GT badges removed. The holes were welded and then sanded. I think the car looks much cleaner without the antenna. Here's a picture in case you are thinking of doing an antenna delete in the future.

I paid $175 to have the antenna hole welded and painted, the lower grill, mirrors and CDC classic spoiler painted.

Yea, just look around, I got a 10' and it looks good...anything from 10-14 would be good...

I agree above, the 14 would be great becuase it would match with the roofline..

But if the money is available...getting the hole filled, welded, sanded, and painted and put the one for hte window in would look the best...
