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.
