Default Looking for Alternator Cover - Not Chrome

I'm looking for an alternator cover that isn't chrome/stainless. I've gone with a black carbon fiber/painted components under my hood.

I've looked all around and haven't found anything yet. If anyone can help me out, it would be appreciated.

Here's a pic of what the underhood looks like now. I've also added a CF cover over the brake master cylinder and am in the process of making a battery cover that will be painted, just haven't updated my pics.

Send CEC an email, and ask if they will sell you one of their alt covers in raw form - before it goes out for plating. Then you could paint it yourself.

Not sure if they will do that or not, but it's worth a shot. They're really nice people to deal with.

Thanks -- Great idea!

I was also going to get ahold of Nakid Parts and see if he could do something custom engraved in black rather than chrome/polished.

Anyone with more suggestions, keep them coming. I'm not the only one looking for something! Any vendors out there with a product?
