First, is the antenna supposed to be telescopic cuz if it is mine is broken?

Second, i really hate the way the antenna looks when its up, if i were to remove it and shave the hole would it affect the stock(for now, but plan to get a pioneer in near future)radio?

you can get it from your local nissan dealer but ur gonna pay a lot of money...your better off goin with an aftermarket antenna...youll get better reception and it will look better too....and wont be as expensive

Yes it would because the pioneer radio will still use the same antenna setup as the stock radio
