Now this is a shorty antenna!
I installed (screwed in) my new shorty antenna today. I just tried the FM radio while the car was parked in the garage. I like it and it picks up the stations quite well so far. I almost never use the radio so I wouldn't be disappointed if it didn't pick them up so well anyway. When I use my car cover I won't need to take the antenna off. It doesn't have to come off for a car wash either.
Its made of aluminum and is powdercoated black. The only problem that I see might be the fact that it is screwed in by hand and consequently can be unscrewed by hand by somebody that takes a liking to it.
EDIT: forgot to say its about 3.5 inches tall.

I would go with the antenna delete but I don't want to have to fix the hole space that it would leave if you remove the oringinal atenna.

I don't think that delete one looks any better.
