Default 200 ft. antenna

The antenna on our cars is freaken huge!!!!!!!
I mean i hardly ever listen to the radio with the ipod hooked up and a 6-cd changer!!
Is there anyway to completely take off the antenna and cover the hole without having to take it to the body shop??
Is there like a cool pony emblem or something to cover it up????
Search hasnt been workin since forever and a half so i thought i'd ask!!!

I just cut mine to about 8 inches then sharpens the tip into the shape of a cone kinda like a pencil which is extremely sharp. Cheapest and very effective + radio works fine.

You mean you don't like the buggy whip???

I have the 14" from American Muscle and it matches the roofline. There is also an 8" that I'm aware of. There's also nothing stopping you from cutting yours down or removing it and having a body shop repair the hole.

I have the 14" from American Muscle. It looks great on the car and works fine.
I agree the stock antennae is huge. Actually it is the same antenna that is on my Explorer..........go figure.

The length of the antenna is in direct relationship to the wavelength of the stations that are broadcasting. Ford likes to pull in radio stations from Mars...
