Try lookin through those custom trucking magazines. I'll admit, the trucks do look nice (even though I would'nt drive'em ). They have plenty of advertisments of custom parts, body kits, engine stuff etc...
I don't remember the names of the magazines but there are some really good ones.

My neighbor owns a lightning, he has a fiberglass bed topper on it not one of those ugly things but like a bed cover get it ? but it makes it too SO much better, I f I were you I would make an opening be cover with either speakers in the back or nitrous. And of course a wild paint job!

Consider that 1999 lightnings only came in black and red. 2000-2002 came in red,black,white,silver. 2003 has lightning electric blue.

The older, pre-97 lightnings were also very popular in red.

Red is almost the trademark color of the lightning.
