you are correct, my turbo kit requires me to relocate it to the passenger side head and I would rather have something nice to look at rather than an old nasty looking alternator.

You should check out Turn Key Engine Supply. They're out of CA.
I got mine there. Looks and works great!

DON'T chrome your alt, chrome holds in heat, that would be bad on an alternator.

Send it off to josh and he can polish it for you...

I have a rebuilt motor with lots of chrome under the hood, granted chrome does hold heat but I never had a problem at all.

You have to give Turn Key a call and tell them what you want. I think I paid between 250-300 for mine.
