The 4 gauge wiring for the subwoofer amps and Dewalt power inverter will be left in as well as the 2 marine circuit breakers mounted on the right inner fender as well as the fitted mounting board attached to the back of the rear seat and the subwoofer amp trigger on/off switch under the dash.

The original metal hood will be included which has also been painted in the blue Metalflake both top and bottom, will need to be buffed out like the rest of the truck was done, and has a 12 inch mark on the top side from storage. The firewall, door jambs, dashboard, bottom of the hood, were also correctly painted with the blue Metalflake. The inner fenders were painted gloss black at this time. This paintjob really looks beautiful in the sunlight and turns heads as you drive by.
