I say shave it off if the additional cost is worth it to you. I don't think it'd be too difficult to go back if necessary.

If you use the satilite radio then the standard radio antenna should not be needed.

my friend has a shaved antenna on his fox and you don't really notice it until you look close, which in my opinion is the whole point- it just looks so clean and normal

My wife went to go get the car today, and yet again maaco fails to deliver. She said they left alot of bubbles in the car so they need to fix it. She will post pics in about 1 hour so ill post them as soon as she comes home. Im still in afghanistan and it sucks when theres little to nothing i can do. other than that she said the car came out like new but that coming from a female. So we will know in 1 hour

if there is still a nub then you did not shave hard enough!




yeah, building stuff by correspondence really sucks. with a company like maaco you beeter make sure that it is done on delivery or they may try to stick it to you when you return. keep your head down.

Here it is.... Finally


Imagehost - PicTiger

It looks really good. I know it's hard to tell because it was in good shape when i got it but i can tell. i wanted some of the attenna but she didnt take any. I always put new weather striping everywhere.She said the car looks brand new so whatever.... As for me im still out here. Here's a link to what our team has done here for this month.
