That was just 100% stupid.

Just because you shave your antenna doesn't mean you can't listen to radio. Keep it hooked up but leave it in your trunk/hatch and tuck it. I shaved it on my S14 and I wish I would have shaved the 3rd brake light. I figured If i decide to go wingless I could shave it on a different trunk so I could always switch it out if I needed to.

I just recently shaved my spoiler wiper and 3rd brake. All three of these things had rust around them so I tossed them. Who gets pulled over by a cop and the cop says 'hey sir I know you shaved your third brake light" lol.

When I got my car inspected, the guy even asked me if it had a brake light on it....I just said, "I don't think so, it came like that"
