Default Painted Antenna Delete Plate?

A while back I saw something about an antenna delete plate that was available painted the color of your car...I think it was like $25 bucks. It's not the one that goes over the black base, but replaces it completely. Anybody know where I can find one?

There's a plug that Ford Racing uses on the newer Cobra Jet (FR500CJ). They don't list it on their site, but it is clearly a low profile plug that can be seen on the production cars (the prototype used electrical tape).

Yeah, I saw the DIY mod but honestly I've got enough projects going right now and too little time, I'd rather spend the $25 or whatever it is. It looks exactly like that one though...

It's not the plug used on the Cobra Jet, I actually have one of those that I bought a while back and it wont work. It's not large enough to cover up the 3 screw holes. I know a few people on here have the plate I'm talking about, hopefully they'll stumble across this thread...

This is a link to the cobra jet one. It isn't the greatest site, search the page for Antenna.

It looks like it is only black.

I thought I had remembered seeing a painted one also, and thought it was Rpidesigns. But I couldn't find it on their page.

I actually have one of those and it doesn't work. The plate is not large enough to cover up the 3 screw holes in the fender. You can still see them around the edge of the plate lol.

The Cobra Jet plate just fills the hole. The screw holes are drilled into the lower antenna plate- which gets removed before the cover gets installed.

The plate does fit the whole, but it doesn't cover up the screw holes which go all the way through the fender.

Well, the one that performance parts is selling- has the same picture for all the years. That one doesn't seem to the same piece as I think the S197 plate is smooth and larger.
