I am thinking of getting a topper for my '05 STX 6.5' bed. What is a good one for this truck? It is red so I am thinking maybe black, my brush guard is black. I want something that is good quality, like Leer, and looks good. Where is a good place to shop for these? I live in the middle of nowhere so it will probably be an ordered item to a dealer 50 to 100 miles away.

I think they look best when color matched to the truck.

You should also check Craigs List as they are advertised frequently.

I think I have a Leer 100R. Bought used from a guy with the same color truck I have. Drove 4 hours one way to get it and paid $400. Few chips and scratches, but since I already bought a bottle of touchup paint for the truck.... 
It isn't carpet lined, don't really care. Have camped probably 25+ nights in the back this past summer.
What I learned from looking at new toppers is that certain brands will be significantly cheaper based on your location in relation to where they are built. Difference in a brand new Leer and ARE for me was $400-500 for comparable models.
