#14288, "shaving your antenna"




          

how do you shave your antenna? when i was changing mine to a billet aluminum one(big mistake and waste of money), i had the radio on and it lost reception. i have the antenna on the rear window but i don't think it works.

If you have a good head unit with good FM sensitivity, then you may not really need the antenna. The one in the rear window does nothing. There are also internal antennas you can get I think. To shave it, you should weld sheet metal over the hole.
