I have their chrome alternator cover. Sure looks much better than the cheap "chrome" acessories I bought from Ecklers.

Take a look at Creative Engine Covers Inc:

You can have 'em .... as soon as you pry 'em from my cold, dead hands!

I got mine from another CFer. You could posted a WTB thread in the parts section.... maybe someone with a C5, moving into a C6, is willing to part with them.
