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.

New cars and trucks need to protect their paint as to hold resale value and keep its shine for years to come. One way that you can protect your vehicle from elements of the road and weather is to wrap the body panels with a clear protective film.
This layer of protection is nearly invisible to the outside public, as pictured below, when installed by one of our professionals. It can prevent chips and scratches from rocks, dirt, and other road debris. A clear bra can prevent front end bug damage like we have here in Florida with the “Love Bugs” that eat at your paint if not removed.
Clear Body Film
Clear Bra Installed
Next Level uses on all vehicles- 3M™ Paint Protection Films.
Paint protection film – also known as a clear bra – is designed to protect your vehicle against the elements without changing the design features or color.
Front to back film protection
Soapy water is necessary for installation
Stealth Installation
Typically customers will first cover their front end with the clear bra film, and some ask to have the entire car wrapped from bumper to bumper. How much you want to cover is up to you.
Black Roof Wrap
Ceramic Coated Wheels and Truck
There’s a 100% chance something will wreck the paint on your new car. Rocks, bugs, stone, sand, harsh weather, keys, salt, rings — you name it. Our virtually invisible film tirelessly protects your paint, even when you can’t. Get it professionally applied to the high-impact, vulnerable areas of your vehicle. The film has advanced flexibility and hugs tightly to curves and contours, which makes it easy to install and leaves no visual trace.
The Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film Pro Series offers:
• Unrivaled scratch and stain resistance
• Exceptional clarity
• Resistance to yellowing
• Self-healing technology, which makes most scratches disappear
• Tough, durable and maintenance free

A customer recently brought us his new Ford F250 truck and asked us to make it bigger with a lift kit and new wheels.
Together we chose to build the truck with a 10″ Wicked Customs lift kit and paired it with a set of new 24″ American Force wheels with Nitto Tires Trail Grapplers
During the installation, we also added 18 Rigid Industries Rock LED lights to give the truck a Next Level appearance at night.
Then to finalize the build, we did a custom black wrap on the roof and ceramic coated the entire truck including the wheels.
