Finally got some “Me” time with the Hawk for a full day yesterday. Spent 6-7hrs in my garage.

Installed my JL 12” W7 with my JL 750/1 amp. One of the easier installs as the battery is under passenger seat. Tapped in to rear sub for my RCA’s, and tapped in to the rear for remote. Took me longer to tear the rear tailgate area apart that to run all the wiring. Of course some retaining clips broke. So ordered those last night.

Running it off the stock head unit. As I expected being I don’t have the 19 speaker Harmon Kardon stereo from the factory. I’m going to have to replace the door speakers in all 4 doors and throw a small 4ch amp on them. When bass knob turned up 70% it drowns out all the stock speakers.

De-badged the whole rig except the “supercharger” on doors. That’s coming off today. Thought it would grow on me, but it’s not. Lastly I tinted front corners and reverse lights on the rear.

As always, looks killer

Are you taking the track hawk badge off the tailgate too? Or will that be the only badge left on?
That ugly MFer is also gone. Will snap a few more pics later. I never understood how the HC, Demon and Red Eye have a nice logo and the TH is ugly as shit.
Rig will be 100% badgeless after I remove supercharged badges

Went out and rinsed her off at self wash. Planned on washing cars in my yard today but forgot my hose is under my gazebo. Gazebo is currently wrapped with 500' of shrink wrap. Took pics while rig was still wet, so paint looks shitty. Will take more in the Spring when I do a full paint correction.

Initial estimate from Royal Coach, a hair under $1500. They think it will go up $500-$1000 after they tear it apart. Also as someone else said, even if I paid out of my pocket, it will more than likely still hit Carfax as a police report was made is what my guy at RC said. He said if anything see if the old guy wants to pay out of pocket

No blending of fenders needed.

The thought of buying an aftermarket hood has crossed my mind being she is going to the shop for paint work on bumper. Then I was told how much to paint the hood, blend the fenders would cost and the chance of hood needing some body work. Not happening, lol.
If fenders were getting blended as part of the bumper then I might have pulled the trigger.
