I was going to do this to my '92 because the antenna is stuck up and no one cares about radio any more because of aftermarket stereos being cheap and easy to install. The only way I could think of doing it right is having a body shop patch in a metal sheet and finishing it good or maybe using fiberglass but the texture of the fiberglass will look different than the texture of the steel fender to the trained eye no matter how good the finish job is. Personally I'd remove it and choke down the price of having a good body shop do it right. That's what I'm going to do at least.

When I was restoring/refinishing my SC400, I cut a piece of sheetmetal to size and welded it into the antenna hole. Then skim coated it body filler and called it a day.
I disliked the factory AM/FM antenna as well. I think it takes away from the clean lines of the car, so I 'shaved' it.
You could potentially 3D print yourself a plug if you didn't want to do a whole ton of body work.
