Satellite antenna cover painted

For those of you who do not like the black dot in the middle of your trunk. I'm lucky, one advantage of the OTT stripe is that is hides the antenna well.

Don't care for the looks of them, makes the "bump" even bigger.
And I wonder if the metallic colors they list actually have any metallic in them to make a good match. I would think if they did that it might interfere with the signal.

The factory antenna does not look good but I can't say this is an improvement. Regarding the "metal flake", I think it's actually glass in the paint, not actual metal.

I planned on turning mine into a little battleship. I was going to paint it haze gray with modeling paint, and paint little 16" guns and make a little superstructure out of toothpicks or something and glue that on. I mean, if it's gonna stick out like a sore thumb, it might as well give you a chuckle, right?

My dad recently had a sirius reciever added to his Ranger and the antenna they used was about the size of a fifty cent piece and about 1/4 inch thick so I don't know why the stock Mustang one needs to be so large. Has to be some smaller one like that, that could be used to replace that huge lump.

The factory NAV probably does not accept an aftermarket antenna, and outside mount is the best spot for reception, unfortunately.

Don't get me wrong, we had the antenna shaved on our last coupe when the CDC ducktail was installed. Looked great, much better than the trunk turtle
I have an iPhone and an iPod, but I find that I get to hear a nice mix of music I haven't heard yet on XM and Sirius. THEN I download it on iTunes

I did not think of that good point. I would like to see what it looks like if he can do it. I wonder if he can paint it white to match the stripe?

The white vinyl because it is not as shiny would be hard to match according to my brother the body man, if he can't do it with the Vinyl it will probably just stay black, since the OEM Pedestal Spoiler is going on and it has a lot of black under it.

It will look good with the spoiler. Are you replacing the oe lip spoiler with the pedestal spoiler? Or are you lipless now?
