.....DUH.......sorry should have known that. Yep but nothing too crazy. The plan was for either a RockFord or Pioneer component speakers, maybe 4 10" subs in a custom fiberglass enclosure. I'm not using my third row seating so I do have some room back there for something nice. I'm not going after that "blingy" look but something more refined but still enough to show case our shops work.

Not really a kit per say. I do this for a living so it was pretty easy for me. The 06 fenders will bolt on but they have to be modified to work with the 99 body. In my case the hood is a "one off" custom piece that I built, the grille is custom built, the bumper is custom built, and the headlamps are custom built. You could just use all the parts off an 03-06 Expe and just modify the fenders. It is a pricey mod, but I wanted something different and I wanted to breathe new life into my old friend. Today I took my headliner and sun visors over to a trim shop I work with. I'm having it redone with stock 2010 Ford Cashmere headliner fabric that will match the rest of the interior. Since the interior is gutted I installed dynamat type material on the underside of the roof to cut down on sound and the heat. I also plan to install the same on the floor before I install my new custom rug. I should have the interior 90% done by late next week. Today I also started my last big custom
mod for the truck...some custom rocker panel covers that will extend the aggressive look to the sides of the truck.

Since you've put so much work into the truck already, might I suggest some audio that would serve it well. MB Quart makes some incredible speakers, SoundStream makes some incredible speakers and amps. For a head units, the sky is the limit as there are several TOP manufacturers out there. If you would like to have everything matching... Deck, speakers, and amps might I suggest some McIntosh pieces. If the exterior and interior are getting the top of the line royal treatment, why not follow through with the audio/video?

Since we're on the subject of audio. Here is a photo of a custom job we did on a 2010 Camaro.

VERY NICE!! I agree Pioneers are nice, they have come a LONG WAY in the past couple years. If it is going to be your DD I would consider going all out with it and then putting your shops name on the rear window. That way you can advertise as you drive, kinda like a mobile show room. Bet it would draw in some more business. I can bet when you pull into anywhere with it you will get some people that want to have a look see, so I would showcase ALL your talents, you showed it on the outside and choice of interior so far, so you might as well go all out with it. Sorry if I sound like Im telling you what to do, just saying what I would do.
