I recommend the polished billet Zeus Antenna available on ssinserts.com. It's $49.95 delivered, provides better reception, is very attractive, and takes a few minutes to install.
Sweet!, anyone else have any luck with these? Does it really get better reception then the OEM antenna?

I got a 8" stubby off of eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...spagenameZWDVW

Here is a photo of mine installed, I almost never listen to the radio, but reception is just as good as with the stock antenna but not nearly as noticeable!!!

Go to a body shop and get it shaved. Thats what I did. Then install a windshield antenna, you cant even see it.

don't they have to drill a hole in your roof to install a satellite antenna?
Nope. No hole in your roof for a satelite antenna.
