Default Antenna Block off Replacement Cover

I just got an 2002 SC430 and the antenna mast and the antenna itself were completely broken and the threads made it near impossible to remove. I finally removed it last week, however, there has been damage done to the cover that the antenna comes out of. So now it's just a hole in the car. Wondering if anybody has any suggestions on something to cover the hole up like a cover block off plate? Was thinking of 3D printing one but I don't think the print would survive the AZ weather :/

Grommets like this can be an option in the interim until you find a better solution, other that body work. Good luck.

Hello sorry for such a late reply since you last responded but here is the hole that I'm trying to fill in. The image attached was an image of me trying to see the fitting of a spoiler I'm trying to put on my SC430 and you can see where the antenna would be and obviously it's not there. Any suggestions what I could cover it up with?
