Default Remove Antenna Mast Completely? Fill Hole?

So I want to comepletely remove my antenna from my SC. I think its long and ugly looking, kinda takes away the clean lines on the side of my car. I want to make my car look more like an 2006 persay.. I want to know if any of you have done this and what is a good way to cover up the antenna hole without using bondo or anything permanent? I will be using a nice looking dummy shark fin antenna for the outside and a hidden antenna that will be mounted on the inside of my car.

yes the cleanest way would be welding and a small layer of kitty hair with a metal glaze finish.... really no way to make it look like a clean 2006 w/o some body work in that section. if you just fill the hole with bondo it may not be strong when you hit road bumps and my just fall out. if you want to skip the weld then i would suggest backing the hole somehow and use kitty hair(fiberglass) not as rec. as the weld though!
