Nope, just the cupholder cover really. Still lots of sharp edges to allow me to donate blood too.

I got the speaker on ebay, although you could use any CB speaker. I liked the size of this one.

I had the radio installed by a local shop, but he did run it to the battery. I will see if I can find where it goes through.

Here you go.

Passenger side there is a grommet you can pop through its hard to see. Pull the carpet back and run a coat hanger from the engine compartment down towards the floor boards. you will give blood since every edge down there is a razor blade...

There are two holes on the passenger side. One below and slightly left of the main wiring loom pass through, and one in the wiring loom pass through itself. You will notice a small "Bubble" at the top of the wiring loom pass through. If you cut that off with a razor, you have another insulated pass through you can use.
