take you antenna an custom make it for $0. pop the ball off the top .. cut the antenna down to size ... shave the tip for the ball to fit back on... little dab of superglue and bingo. cut mine down to be flush with the roof line

I have a black one and it works. Took it off though, poor reception, but looked good.
