He told me he will chrome whatever you send him. He did my two bolts, I did not want to mess with taking the bracket off at that time.

The intake cover I bought from Kewl. I don't think he's making the chrome versions at the moment, he stopped selling them about a year ago...from what I've heard, he may have them out again soon.

The alternator I bought from a forum member who had it plated.
The Metron price is very good, if you can afford the downtime, (or pick up another alt), sending yours in is the cheapest option.

Thanks!

I don't see it on their website. I think you should give me yours for 20 bucks!
