When a Ford F-150 owner came to Next Level Car Audio looking to elevate both their truck’s sound system and aesthetic appeal, our team knew this would be a project worth showcasing. The result? A stunning combination of premium JL Audio performance and a head-turning blacked-out exterior that transforms this already impressive truck into a true custom masterpiece. And before we were all done, the customer asked for the installation of front and rear-facing cameras.
Premium Sound: JL Audio System Installation
We started with what we do best—delivering exceptional audio quality. For this F-150, we installed a complete JL Audio system designed to provide crystal-clear sound whether you’re cruising down the highway or tailgating at the game.
JL Audio is renowned for their engineering excellence and uncompromising sound quality, making them the perfect choice for drivers who refuse to settle for factory audio. Our installation ensures every component is optimally positioned and calibrated to deliver the immersive listening experience this truck deserves.
Installed were two amps, one for the speakers and one for the shallow, downfacing subwoofers in a custom box under the rear bench seat. Then a bass control knob was installed by the steering wheel.
The Art of the Blackout: Precision Details
The blacked-out transformation of this F-150 required meticulous attention to detail and expert craftsmanship. This isn’t simply painting over existing elements—it’s a comprehensive process that demands patience, precision, and professional-grade execution.
The Blackout Process: Step by Step
1. Careful Removal
Our technicians carefully removed every piece of lettering and emblem from the truck, including badges, logos, and trim pieces. This step requires specialized tools and a delicate touch to avoid damaging the underlying paint or the components themselves.
2. Surface Preparation
Once removed, each piece is thoroughly cleaned and prepped to ensure perfect adhesion for wrapping or painting. Any residue or imperfections are addressed before moving forward.
3. Wrapping or Painting
Depending on the component and desired finish, pieces are either professionally wrapped in high-quality vinyl or painted with durable automotive-grade finishes. Both methods deliver that sleek, murdered-out look while protecting the original components.
4. Precision Reinstallation
After the blackout treatment is complete, every emblem and piece of lettering is carefully reinstalled in its exact original position, ensuring factory-perfect alignment and a seamless, professional appearance.
Complete Exterior Transformation
Beyond the badges and emblems, we took this F-150’s blacked-out aesthetic to the next level by treating the roof and outside pillars. This comprehensive approach creates a cohesive, aggressive look that turns heads wherever this truck goes.
The Showstopper: Backlit Ford Logo
While the blacked-out treatment delivers serious curb appeal, our engineers added one more custom touch that truly sets this F-150 apart: a backlit Ford logo in the front grille.
This innovative modification provides a subtle yet striking illumination that highlights the iconic Ford badge, especially impressive during evening drives or at nighttime events. It’s the perfect balance of custom styling and brand pride—a detail that shows this truck owner isn’t afraid to stand out from the crowd.

This very fast Mercedes GLE SUV is a beast with a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V-8 pumping out 550 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, or 577 hp and 561 pound-feet in the S variant. Acceleration to 60 mph is just a hair above 4 seconds believe it or not!!!
The owner liked the original stereo from the factory, but felt that it was missing more low end bass.
