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.

Did ya guys run the wire through a premade hole on the fire wall or did ya drill one up there somewhere. Trying to find a hole too run it up to the battery right now. Installing on passenger side!

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...

Got it. Just gotta hook up ground and fix the carpet. All wires hidden and its nice and clean

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.

I updated my previous post with a couple of pictures.

Great pics, that's the pass through I used. In your first pic you can just make out the other pass through behind the plastic jacketed wires, just below and slightly left of the main loom.
