Some newbie questions
I need to get a bedliner. Would you recommend that I buy one from the dealer or go aftermarket. Also should I get a tonneau cover as well? I love the Lightning's performance but eventually I would like to make it faster. What should be the order of mods and which parts would you recommend? I also would like to increase the supercharger boost. Is this easy to do? Thanks.

OHHH NOOOO... I hear Yoda yelling about that little search button at the top of the screen already...
Seriously... Check out the search button at the top, we've talked about this many times, bedrug seems to be the choice around here.

* 99.5 Black Lightning (The fastest color I don’t care what Christy Ann Thinks)
* Personal Best ¼ Mile 13.99 @ 97.75 Mph. (Bone stock)
* Ohio Plate SVT2GO
* Waiting on a chip and filter from Sal.. I wanna go faster!
* Factory CD Changer
* Class 3 Towing Hitch
* Factory Tonneau Cover
* 8" Bazooka Tubs
* Kenwood 80 watt *2 amp
* Viper 550 Alarm w/ remort start
* Often found in the bed: 98 Yamaha Banshee/Pro Design Cool head/ Toomey T-5 Chrome Racing Pipes/ Wiseco Power Pistons / Boyesen rad valves
Injection is nice, but I'd rather be blown. 99 Lightning, the best of both worlds!

I think you're wrong, Joe. Badass used to capitalize everything, and he couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the c and the a. Besides, he wasn't nearly as polite as Newbie.

I would do a lot of reading within this post before I took anyones advice about changes in your new truck. Each has his own thoughts on what is best and there a lot of opinions within this board. I know that would require a lot of reading but it would pay off in the long run for you and your "L". Each person has what they would like there truck to look like in their mind, and how they would handle any modifications based on budget. Don't be discouraged by the post you see, its all in fun. Please read, it will help you in making a better decision for your truck add ons.

Cant say I agree with SVT2Go. If you're gonna cap your bed and want essentially a big trunk, go the bedrug route. For uncapped trucks like mine, a spray-in liner is the only way to go. I can load a truckful of mulch or dirt in the back. Do that with a bedrug and you've got quite a cleaning job on your hands.
