Default Shaved accessories

I was wondering if anyone here has had their rear shaved, or their antenna shaved. I was wondering how much this would cost.

Thanks!!

a reputable body shop in your area should be able to do you hatch or decklid (depending on style) for around 150$ hth

you can do it yourself for cheap..not even 20.00...just get bondo...and fiber glass sheets...sand the area down to the metal...use mesh or some reinforcement behind the holes..and fill them in with bondo...dry that out and sand it down as much as you can...then lay over the sheets of fiber glass over that...then sand again...i've done it to my antenna and H symbols..

i'd advise you to use an electric sander!

The thing is that I want my car to be totally understated, as little chrome as possible etc. I have already taken off the civic and ex badges (that was easy), but I know that if i took off the it would leave little holes. I am going to get a type-r front grill soon, and I want to either have no emblems, or have them all. I think it makes my car look cleaner, b/c the only real difference between the and a rice boy sticker is that the is stock.

Here's some pics of my shaved car. I paid 1600 for the entire job. Not sure how much the actual shaving cost.

I agree 1000% there is nothing more pointless than excessive body work. It never looks good, costs a grip, and then it is a battle to see if the bondo will crash before someone smashes into you molding-less door panel.

The shaved antenna could be woth it, but that one shown above sort of looks like Alfalfa. I think the fuba might look better if it was mounted on the back end of the roof near the rear window.
