Haha, thanks guys.

157db, I thought the same thing, I'll bet you could rig that up.

Dex, I thought about it! ;-) However, it would be likely too challenging to replicate this for mass-production.

Glad you guys liked it.

VERY creative!! I love home made mods!! Looks good, my only concern, if I used local radio, would be the antenna inside the fender....as far as reception. However, since I do XM anyway, no issue.....

Thanks for sharing, nice job!!

Maybe this location could be used to mount the aftermarket Sat Radio antenna
instead of the trunk lid like OEM 07-08 Stangs with Sat Radio factory installed?
Possibly, but then you have the damn holes in the trunk lid to contend with. I have my XM antenna in the back window deck. No holes, perfect reception. It WILL receive through glass, with tint....

Not thinkin move the OEM antenna to up front leavin holes in the trunk lid.
Just puttin an aftermarket Sat Ant up front there instead of the AM/FM fishin
rod OEM antenna. I likey the back rear glass inside idea for aftermarket Sat
Antennas. Thru the glass and tint.

My original intention was to have the hole welded and grinded then repainted, however, no body shops in my area would touch it for less than $400.00, theres a few guys on this forum who said they had theirs done for $100, I couldn't find anything even close to that deal.

If it's $100 they must know somebody. $400+ is right for this. The welding of this very thin metal has to be done by someone routinely accustomed to this. ...and the paint needs to be blended. No small task overall. What you've done there is the next best thing. Good job!

Very nice....Any tip on how to fill in/cover up the small holes on the side for the emblems? $250 is what they are asking at the bodyshop for it....you got to be nuts.
