How much you paid to get the antenna and trunk hole shaved?
I know there are not THAT many of you out there, but since my car is already in the shop, I am thinking of getting the Antenna and trunk hole shaved. How much it should cost on average? I know it depends on the location but just wanted to get an IDEA. If not the trunk, i will get the antenna shaved for sure since i already have the VW antenna. Thanks for your input ppl.

I don't have it done on my Max but what I do know about it is that it's kinda costly. They have to fill the hole with compound, i think get rid of all the paint thats on the quarter panel, then repaint the quarter panel. For something so small that no one really notices besides Maxima freaks like us, it takes a lot of work.
Sorry I can't give you a dollar amount, but I think it could run you somewhere around $500-600.

to answer the question....
Trunk Keyhole - 300-400
Antenna - 300-400
Depends on the shop really but it can always fluctuate.. there is a guy here in north florida who quoted me at 400 for the entire job..

On average...$300-400 Antenna, $300-400 Keyhole
Believe it or not, Superblack is the hardest paintcolor to mix. Take it to a reputable shop that is experienced in blending the new paint to match your car's existing bodycolor.
