how do i go about doing this and how will the reception be after i shave the antenna

Antenna on my celica has been shaved... Many ways of going about it. You can attempt to lay fiberglass over it, primer, sand, etc. or you can tac weld a piece of metal in it's place and grind the welds down.

Reception is so-so. I don't listen to the radio much anyways (iPod FTW) so it doesn't bother me.

i shaved mine, fiberglass and bondo.
having a metal plate welded in is the correct way to do it though.

after its done, its advisable to get a hidden antenna
