Default sc300 antenna plug?

i pretty much just finished my carpc project and have my radio integrated into my computer via a usb adapter. now i have no use for my antenna. and since i dont want water seeping into my car via that big hole where the antenna is..i am just leaving it there until i get it molded. instead of just leaving the antenna there though..id probably like to go and sell it..but before i sell it, ill need to plug it up. does anyone have any idea where i can get a good sealed antenna plug? or any ideas how to plug it up well until i get it molded which may be a while?

All I can think of is a duct tape, which will look awful. I suggest to leave the antenna until you are ready for the body work.

I took mine off and cover it with painter's blue tape. I'm not driving the car though, just in the garage. It is shaved now and I'm waiting for the car to get done.

Don't you need an antenna for the radio? I'm not savvy in carputer stuff but if you will need an antenna, you might want to get a hidden antenna for better radio reception.

yea..duct tape wont really compliment my car much..haha. i was thinking there would be some kind of rubber plug that would fit there. not completely shaven or anything..but at least so i can take it out and remove that unnecessary weight and sell that thing too.

and as for an antenna for the radio..my usb "thumdrive" type thing has a kind of built in antenna. plus it comes with a wire extension so if i wanted to get better reception, i could just unwind that wire and wire that up higher through the headboard if necessary. plus i dont really listen to the radio all that much. i mostly listen to my mp3s.
