Sahved Emblems/Antenna

I saw that pic of the silver L that WantALight posted. The shaved emblems and antenna look real good. If I wanted to do this on my truck how would I go about it. I know is not as easy as just taking the emblems off becuase you have to fill in the holes and probably paint where they used to be. can any body shop do this for me? also, how should I go about shaving the antenna and, does it get rerouted. i dont know about everyone else but a listen to my radio a lot and wouldnt like the idea of losing the antenna but it looks so much better when its off.

thanks for the info

p.s.
silver looks good w/ out emblems and the antenna but do you think black would look good like that (totally your personal opinion)

I think black would look totally clean with that stuff shaved. Once I decide that I'm keeping the truck forever, I may do it.

I think it would look best if shaved on silver, but that is because the black stands out more on silve. While it would look good on black, it whould not be as noticable. IMO

I have thought about the antenna also. I do not know why Ford did not do it. The Expedition's have a pod mounted antenna behind the mirror.

Parts required:
1) antenna from Expy
2) Right fender from Expy
3) Body Man
