Default Any cool solution to replace the ugly Antenna

Hello are there any good solutions how you can hide the Antenna, I dont mean to replace it with a small antenna, I want a solution so its gone, something to replace the antenna spot, rubber or whatever and then maybe have the antenna indor or maybe a electrc antenna which then goes down.

They do make antenna deletes, but I hope you are going with satalite radio or you wont get any reception.

I replaced the stock 3-ft antenna with a 14" dark chrome antenna that cost about $15 on Bay; not as sleek as a satellite radio antenna (but don't they have to drill a hole in your roof to install a satellite antenna?).

[align=left]As Haze28 stated they do make antenna deletes the only problem with those is that the body work to have the antenna completely removed can become costly (some say close to $500). And also with those you do lose reception with a normal radio. So if choosing this path it'd probably be best to go with satellite radio if you dont mind having someone mounting those types of antennas to ur car's body. I personally dont like satellite radio and think it'd just be better to either buy a shorty antenna or shorten ur antenna to a length you find desirable and like. But as I said thats my personal opinion.

They have the ones that go on the inside of your car and are hidden by the visors.

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.

Here is a good "How to Thread" on how to do it, this is what I plan on doing in the next month or so to mine.
