Just cut my factory antenna to 18”. I do this to every vehicle I get. I’ll paint this one black when I get some paint but for now it works.
I just pop the ball off the end, cut it where I want and then grind down the thicker new end until I’m able to mount the little ball back on for a stock look.
Here’s a before during and after pics. Not bad for free.
I did the same thing, then wrapped the antenna in black shrink wrap. And painted the ball. It still looks solid after one year. No fading or anything. If it ever does fade, I will just do it again.
