Original Power Antenna trim

Hi,
I am in the process of replacing the aftermarket antenna on my car with an aftermarket power antenna. My problem is that the car has been repainted a darker shade of blue, and they didn't repaint under the current antenna. So I am curious on how large the original power antenna's trim was were it meets the body of the car, or any ideas on how to conceal the old paint

Also, did every RX7 come with a power antenna or was it an option?

Pictures of the original antennas would be appreciated

im pretty sure they all came with power. ive personally never owned one that didnt. Just get a antenna trim piece bigger or the same size as the paint circle.

What year is your car? I have an 84 with original antenna trim. Are you just looking for a photo of the antenna trim piece? I can take a phot or two next weekend.

That would be great, I would just like to see how it looked with the original antenna, maybe I can figure out something that keeps it close to factory looks.
Thanks
