RE: Tutorial: Custom Antenna Delete
My body shop only charged $175. They welded the holes closed and painted the fender, painted the mirrors, my lower grille and my CDC spoiler. The color match was perfect. I used a Metra amplified antenna and mounted it on the windshield and the reception is even better then with the original antenna.

However, critical parts of that process aren't usually DIY. Props to Nels for a great alternative!

+1. I followed Odiaz' advice when I had mine done. Mirrors, antenna, and I also had the washer nozzles removed.

I installed a relocation kit that places the nozzles on the back side of the wiper arms. Out of sight and work well.

That's exactly the kit. Toughest part is pulling the wiper arms. Instructions say you can 'tap' them. I actually used a battery post puller (looks like a small gear puller) to do mine.
Other than that it is just pushing in connectors, routing small rubber lines and attaching things to the underside of the wiper arms with 2 way tape.
Easy.

RE: Tutorial: Custom Antenna Delete
how did you get the antenna wire off the metal base of the plastic piece you painted? I need to remove my fender and can't get the stuped antenna orange wire off. My antenna is like welded to the big metal base thing. Tried using vice grips to get it off but just scraped the sh*t out of it. Also you should have said that the first plastic piece has two indentions in the front and rear of it..I jacked mine up bad, now I have to buy a new one.
