2 HID headlights

4 HID headlights on upper light bar. (currently removed for trailer ceiling clearance but easily re-installed. We actually don’t like the looks of it nor do we run much at night so we always leave off, plus one or two of the lights are broken from a Chris oops moment. The two lights are easily replaceable if anyone cared. Modern LED’s seem to be the newest choice of lighting so maybe upgrade if you’re into night rides?)

20 gallon foam filled race fuel cell

AM/FM/IPOD/CD stereo, 4 speakers, 1 sub-woofer

Intercom with 4 behind the head headphones. (These are the good ones that put the metal bracket behind your head instead of on top which makes for more comfortable wearing. Actually I think one of them is broken but can be easily fixed by the company. I dragged it outside the car and f*cked it up a bit. They said send to them and no problem fixing but we never use all 4 anyway.)

Removable leather wrapped billet steering wheel
