I'm looking for a good quality power antenna replacement. I REALLY wold like to find one that fit more 'flush' than most that you see. Anyone have any suggestions?

I got mine from ecklers, but all the good vette site have them and they are all about the same price. Mine looks and works good but it isn't flush with the body like the original. Good luck.

When you install the new antenna put a toggle switch in so you can use the CD player w/o the antenna going up everytime. Saves alot of wear and tear on the antenna motor.
Nice switch less than $10 and easy to hide.

this is what i did. I personally don't like the look of an antenna sticking up.

I went with the Autozone version which was the same price. My local advance auto was out of them. They go in real easy. I had more of a time removing the old antenna and grounding plate.

I don't know if you guys are into body work, but I just shaved my antenna... Totally removed it - filled in the hole - and re-painted over it.
It's the cleanest look possible. I have a hidden antenna made just for this purpose in the rear bumper cover.
SMOOTH.........
