Wal-Mart "modding".. is the only explanation for that stupid little wing-antenna.

You can thank Sam Walton for that.

As far as the antenna, you can just bend the stupid thing over and keep it isolated from the chassis of the vehicle, and it will still work just as well, and won't interfere with flow as much.

Keeping your antenna isolated from the chassis is the most important part, because your vehicle is a giant grounding point, i.e. electrical field, i.e. electrical interference. That's why the antenna and it's wire are never in contact with the chassis. The mounting point has rubber in it to keep it isolated.
