At Next Level Inc., we take pride in elevating every project we touch — and this 2006 Chevrolet C4500 Kodiak 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.

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.

We installed 2 Alpine subwoofers in a prefab ported box, a new amplifier with new Alpine Type R speakers, and a new touchscreen stereo unit from Alpine in this Mercedes G-Wagon. Prefab subwoofers are more affordable and sound great as they are specifically made for that kind of sub.
430,000 miles on this G-Wagon and is now even more enjoyable with a stereo taken to the Next Level!

We had a customer bring us their Regal Boats 2300 model for a custom dash panel, a stereo upgrade and new SeaDek® flooring. For the stereo, Kicker Audio was chosen by the boat owner and Fusion radio was picked as the receiver unit that we installed in the glovebox and a remote unit on the back of the boat by the swim platform.
The dashboard is custom cut on our in-house CNC machine with Acrylic material and made to fit perfectly for any boat. The boat gauges look great with the new sleek look of the acrylic dashboard.

Airboats are fun! We have some boats ourselves that we have installed custom Seadek Non-Skid, waterproof speakers from Kicker, and Ocean LED lights just like on this customers boat. The customer already had Seadek installed, but has asked us to install a screaming stereo so they can hear the music from across the state.
Kicker speakers and amp were installed in a matter of a couple of hours with custom mounting brackets. Music can now be controlled from a remote or a smart phone.
A client came to us with a 1971 Mustang Mach 1 looking to get a custom sound system installed. We decided to put a MMats Pro Audio system in with Custom kick panels for two 6.5″ speakers in the front and two 6×9″ speakers mounted in the back deck. All of these speakers are powered by a MMats MPA470 amplifier and a Classic car stereo with USB and aux inputs. Call today for all custom audio options for your classic car 407-704-5676.
