hey all my name is brandon, i am 16. my grandpa got a 2000 lightning last summer and after the winter of not driving it he needs some help with a few things........he has left it up to me..... he got a billet grill for the upper but not the bottom........he needs a match for the bottom.....he wants straight pipes but is worried about the empty space where the old exhaust was....is there a new piece that he could buy........and he wants a bed cover for it with a spoiler........and maybe some chrome lightning wheels......any help for all of this would be of great help and some prices would be nice too.........thanks in advance

Well, what brand and type billet did he get, i'd check with that company first. From all i've heard you might reconsider the exhaust changes. The stock set-up seams to be tuned pretty well and losses in hp have been noted with many mods to that area. I believe it's "Innovations" that makes the bed cover with the wing and led brake light. Look through a couple pages here for posts and pics, there are several. I believe http://www.f150online.com/ has chrome Lightning wheels at a descent price. There are also chrome 20" replica's available on this board. Look for the post, they are 355.00 each and descent rubber is 300.00 each. The F1's can be found for about 200.00 online, try tirerack.com. You do have an air filter kit right? I have a PSP, but there are a couple others, i'd do that too. Up to you, but bigger pulleys, chips, electric fans, torque converters all could be blamed for a theorectical engine failure, therfore i have not gone down that road. If the warranties gone, chip that doggy right away Have fun and good luck. Oh ya, plz don't crash Gpa's truck and break your neck

A.R.E. makes a very nice bed cover with an optional wing on top. You can also add carpet lining to the inside. They call it an LSII Lid.

Simple and straitforward proceedure. Just remove muffler, and install some strait exhaust pipes in place of where the muffler once was.
A custom exhaust shop could do that easy. Can't imagine it would be all to expensive either.
I hope your gramps is already going deaf, cause it is going to be loud.
