At Next Level Inc., we take pride in elevating every project we touch — and this 2006 Chevrolet C4500 was no exception. This iconic, heavy-duty truck underwent a complete transformation, blending rugged performance with custom styling and modern comfort. Every detail of the vehicle is customized and installed precisely. From the custom Battleship wrap to upgraded audio and flooring.
Take a closer look at everything that went into bringing this beast to life:
Exterior Transformation: Strength Meets Style
🚛 Full Vehicle Wrap
Notice the bold Battleship-themed wrap covering the entire vehicle. Designed to give the C4500 a tactical, commanding presence, the wrap spans the body, front bumper, and head rack. This custom look turns heads and sets the tone for the rest of the upgrades, delivering a military-grade aesthetic that is both sleek and aggressive.
🎨 Custom Gloss Black Paint
To complement the wrap, we refinished key components of the truck in a high-gloss black paint, creating a striking contrast and polished finish.
Painted areas included:
- Front Grille
- Chrome Trim
- Fender Vents
- Side Mirrors
- Door Handles
- Rear Cab Handles
- Hood Latches
- Hood Handles
We also applied a smoked amber tint to the side mirror indicators, subtly darkening the lenses for a cleaner, more unified exterior appearance. Every painted part underwent meticulous prep and finishing to ensure maximum durability and a flawless, mirror-like shine.
🛠️ Heavy-Duty Powder Coating
For the parts that endure the most wear, we took protection even further with professional powder coating, providing a rugged layer of resilience against the elements.
Powder-coated components included:
- Bed Rails
- Mirror Arms and Mounts
- Grille Overlays
- Vent Overlays
The result is a tough, durable finish that will not chip, peel, or corrode — ideal for a workhorse like the C4500.
Wheels, Tires, and Alignment: Built to Roll
🔥 Premium Wheel & Tire Package
The C4500 now rides in style on a brand-new setup featuring:
- American Force 24″ x 8 ¼” wheels
- Nitto Ridge Grappler LT315/50R24 tires
This combination offers the best of both worlds — aggressive off-road performance and street-ready attitude. We handled the mounting, balancing, and alignment process in-house at Next Level to ensure a perfect fit, optimum tire wear, and a smooth ride across all terrains.
Lighting & Installation: A Brighter, Safer Truck
💡 Full Exterior Lighting Upgrade
To complete the exterior transformation, we upgraded all exterior lights. Enhanced lighting improves safety and visibility while modernizing the overall appearance, bringing the exterior up to standards of brightness and style.
Interior Enhancements: Comfort and Sound Performance
🔊 JL Audio Sound System Upgrade
We brought high-end sound to match the impressive new exterior by installing:
- JL Audio 6.5” Coaxial Speakers
- JL Audio 6.5” 2-Way Component Speakers
We upgraded the sound system for better signal clarity and power distribution. Whether cruising the highway or parked at the job site, the C4500 sounds as impressive as it looks.
🧹 SeaDek® Marine Flooring Installation
We installed premium SeaDek® marine-grade flooring, offering unmatched durability and comfort. Our custom flooring process involved:
- Scanning the cabin for a perfect fit
- Designing a layout that complements the functionality
- Precision machining of the material
- Prepping and professional installation
SeaDek® provides a soft, slip-resistant surface that is waterproof, easy to clean, and tough enough for all heavy-duty work.
Rhino Lined Fenders and Rear Bed, Painted Underbody, Fixed Air Suspension, Rewired Entire Stereo, Fixed Dashboard
Final Result: A True Next Level Creation
This 2006 Chevrolet C4500 is a fully customized powerhouse — combining military-inspired aesthetics, upgraded performance, modern comfort, and extreme durability.

At Next Level Inc., we take pride in elevating the driving experience of every vehicle that comes through our doors—especially when it’s a performance machine like the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. This beast already turns heads, but our client wanted to push things even further with an audio and laser defense system that matches the car’s elite status. So, our team got to work on a custom installation that blends stealth, style, and serious performance.
🔊 Precision Audio with JL Audio and Alpine
For earth-shaking bass and crystal-clear clarity, we installed a custom dual subwoofer enclosure, seamlessly fitted in the trunk space. Inside: two JL Audio subwoofers, known for their deep, accurate sound and premium build quality. Powering this setup are two JL Audio amplifiers, carefully tuned to maximize performance without sacrificing trunk usability or factory integration.
To bring the whole system together, we integrated an Alpine Sound Processor—an essential addition that gives us full control over audio tuning. The result? Studio-quality sound in a luxury vehicle that’s already engineered for perfection.
🚨 Stealth Protection with K40 Laser Diffusers
Luxury and speed come with a price—and for many, that includes unwanted attention from speed traps. That’s why we installed a pair of K40 Laser Diffusers discreetly around the rear license plate. These high-performance sensors work seamlessly with radar detection systems to help protect the driver from laser-based enforcement, giving peace of mind on every open road.
💡 Why Choose Next Level Inc.?
We specialize in custom installs that look OEM but outperform aftermarket expectations. Every wire, every bracket, and every setting is hand-placed, tuned, and tested by our experienced techs to ensure long-lasting performance and factory-quality craftsmanship.

We recently had the pleasure of customizing a sleek Regal 1900 ESX boat, turning it into a true head-turner on the water. With Storm Gray over Cool Gray SeaDek and a premium JL Audio marine sound system, this boat brings comfort, style, and killer sound in one smooth package.
SeaDek: Storm Gray Over Cool Gray
Comfort and traction meet high-end design with custom SeaDek flooring throughout the boat. The Storm Gray over Cool Gray color combo perfectly complements the boat’s style while offering a non-slip, cushioned surface that keeps things safe and comfortable for all your water adventures. It’s UV-resistant, easy to clean, and built to last.
🔊 JL Audio Marine Speakers and Fusion Radio with Rear Remote
What’s a day on the water without some music? We upgraded this Regal with JL Audio marine-grade speakers, designed to cut through wind and waves with clean, powerful sound. Whether cruising or anchored on the shore with friends, these speakers bring the perfect soundtrack to every moment. On the rear of the boat, a Fusion remote was installed to give extended control to the new Fusion (by Garmin) radio unit at the drivers seat.
Shadow Caster Underwater Lighting
At Shadow-Caster, they understand the importance of providing the ideal underwater light for your boat. their range of underwater lights offers high-quality performance and unmatched durability for every watercraft. From vibrant colors to adjustable brightness levels, we have the perfect lighting options to suit your preferences.

At Next Level Car Audio, we love a challenge. When a Ferrari Portofino rolled into our shop, we knew this installation would be nothing short of precision craftsmanship. The project? A custom Alpine Electronics stereo upgrade and a K40 Electronics speed ticket protection system seamlessly integrated into the front and rear bumpers.
Precision Meets Performance
Ferrari vehicles are engineered for performance and elegance, which means every modification must match their high standards. Installing a custom stereo system in the Portofino required extreme attention to detail. Alpine Electronics provided the perfect high-fidelity sound solution, enhancing the driving experience without compromising the factory design.
Our team carefully designed and fitted the Alpine system, ensuring:
✅ Crystal-clear sound at high speeds
✅ Custom fabrication for a seamless fit
✅ Minimal weight impact to maintain Ferrari’s performance
The results? A sound experience that complements the thrill of driving this Italian masterpiece.
Seamless Wireless Phone Charging Integration
Convenience is key in any modern vehicle, so we went a step further by installing a wireless phone charging pad under the dash, perfectly positioned between the driver and passenger seats.
This addition allows for:
⚡ Effortless charging—no more tangled cords
⚡ Discreet placement—hidden yet accessible
⚡ OEM-style integration that blends with the Portofino’s interior
This premium convenience feature ensures the driver stays powered up without compromising the Ferrari’s clean interior design.
The Ultimate Speed Ticket Protection: K40 Electronics
No high-performance vehicle is complete without the right protection on the road. We installed a K40 Electronics speed ticket protection system, one of the most advanced radar and laser defense systems available. This required precise mounting in the front and rear bumpers to ensure maximum coverage.
K40’s advanced technology provides:
🔵 Full 360-degree radar detection
🔵 Custom alerts for hidden speed traps
🔵 Stealth installation with no visible components
Notice in the picture above that the you can notice the parking sensors, but with a closer look you can barley spot the 3 laser diffusers. By integrating the K40 system flawlessly, we kept the Ferrari’s sleek design intact while offering the owner peace of mind on every drive.

As an owner of a sports car like this Maserati, a speed ticket protection system is a must need. We installed a K40 speed ticket protection system to help defend from speeding tickets. And as you take delivery of a car like this, the stereo system may sound good, but our friends, family, and staff know the difference in sound when you add a subwoofer, even to the factory system. The owner of this car requested a JL Audio subwoofer to be installed with an amp in the trunk that took this car to the next level.
Owning a Maserati Modena is an experience that transcends mere driving—it’s about embracing performance, luxury, and the thrill of the open road. However, this high-octane experience can sometimes be tempered by the constant worry of speed traps and traffic tickets. That’s where the K40 Speed Ticket Protection System comes into play. In this blog post, we’ll explore the numerous benefits of installing a K40 system on your Maserati Modena, ensuring you can enjoy every drive with confidence and peace of mind.
1. Comprehensive Radar and Laser Detection
The K40 system offers state-of-the-art radar and laser detection, providing you with an early warning of speed enforcement activities. Its advanced technology is capable of detecting all types of radar bands (X, K, Ka) and laser signals, ensuring that you are always one step ahead. With a K40 system installed in your Maserati Modena, you can drive assured that you’ll be alerted to any potential speed traps well in advance, allowing you to adjust your speed accordingly and avoid costly tickets.
2. Custom Installation for Seamless Integration
One of the standout features of the K40 Speed Ticket Protection System is its custom installation process. Unlike bulky, dashboard-mounted detectors, K40 systems are professionally installed and integrated into your vehicle’s design. For a car as meticulously crafted as the Maserati Modena, this means maintaining the sleek aesthetics and luxurious interior without any intrusive devices cluttering your view. The result is a discreet, effective solution that complements the Modena’s elegance.
3. 360-Degree Protection
The K40 system offers full 360-degree protection, covering both the front and rear of your vehicle. This comprehensive coverage ensures that you are protected from threats in all directions, providing a safety net that standard radar detectors can’t match. Whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising on the highway, the K40 system keeps you informed of any speed enforcement activities around you.
4. Advanced False Alert Filtering
Driving a high-performance vehicle like the Maserati Modena means you need a radar detection system that is as refined as the car itself. The K40 system includes advanced false alert filtering technology, which intelligently distinguishes between real threats and false alerts from non-police sources, such as automatic doors and other vehicles’ safety systems. This ensures that you receive accurate, reliable alerts without the distraction of constant false alarms.
5. Customizable Alerts and Settings
The K40 system offers a range of customizable alerts and settings, allowing you to tailor the experience to your driving style and preferences. From adjusting the sensitivity of the radar and laser detectors to choosing between different alert tones, you have complete control over how the system interacts with you. This personalization ensures that the K40 system is not just an add-on, but a fully integrated part of your driving experience.
6. Expert Support and Warranty
When you invest in a K40 Speed Ticket Protection System, you also gain access to a network of expert support and a comprehensive warranty. The K40 team is dedicated to providing top-notch customer service, ensuring that any questions or concerns you have are promptly addressed. Additionally, their system comes with a “Ticket-Free Guarantee”—if you receive a speeding ticket within one year of purchase, K40 will cover the cost of the ticket.

Our team did extensive work on this Jupiter center console boat customizing it with new boat flooring from SeaDek®, a new LED backlit acrylic dashboard with a custom switch panel and a Garmin chartplotter. We also had seat covers made and installed new JL Marine Audio stereo system.
SeaDek® Boat Flooring
SeaDek® is a revolutionary product utilized not only by the top boat builders in the marine industry, but also in the aftermarket by boat owners seeking custom products. Made from closed-cell PE/EVA foam, SeaDek® products offer safe and comfortable alternatives to marine traction products currently on the market. SeaDek® replaces the need for molded in non skid, saving OEMs time and money during the manufacturing process.

We custom fabricate new dashboards and switch panels out of acrylic. Perfectly measured and finished to give a seamless look, these panels and dashboards are made to order and can be designed with logos and backlit with LED lighting. BocaTech Switches were chosen as the marine switches for electronics.

Seat covers offer great protection from the elements and can help your upholstery last longer. Custom made to fit your seats and other areas, we suggest that everyone with a boat gets this kind of protection.

Pro wakeboarder Guenther Oka brought his Axis A24 boat in for a new KICKER Marine Audio system custom installed by our Florida Marine Customs team.
Out with the old stereo, here are pictures of before installing Kicker Audio.
The KICKER logo means it sounds great and will last for years. Whether your boat is in salt or fresh water, we know you need spectacular highs and lows to get that quality, full-range audio designed specifically for a marine environment.
The pictures are of the new speakers and amp installed.
Kicker Marine audio has a completely sealed motor structure and locking/sealed terminal cover make it splash-proof for long life, while a tough Santoprene® surround and marine-grade polypropylene cone pump out the bass, no matter how long or loud the party lasts.

You can check out high-quality video on your compatible chartplotter, plus any other chartplotter on the same network. If you own a larger boat, you’ll be happy to know that you can pair up to seven cameras and view content from up to four of them at the same time.
