Antenna Delete Failed. Alternate idea.

Couldn't disconnect the XM/FM/AM antenna without cutting the wires---the connector was way down on the C-pillar and the wire for it ran through airbag equipment brackets. The only way to kill it would be to cut it, and I want all my mods to be reversible in case I want to sell the car in the future.

So then I started eyeing a piece of leftover foam and wondering if I could turn it into a fairing to go around the antenna. About an hour of carving and sanding later, this is what I came up with. The white stuff is sandable spackle to smooth the inevitable dents that come from working with foam, and it needs to be sanded now that it's dry.

I really don't think it was worth the time and effort, but it was kind of fun to do. Thoughts?
