Your car looks great. We don't offer it in chrome. On our next run we could do 1-off clear anodized over the billet T-6061 if you like. I don't think you want to chrome that because I think it would add to the tolerance between the parts. (i'm not an expert on chrome tech info...not sure). We just made a run of quite a few tensioners so it will be a while before our next batch.

Can this be used in conjunction with an aftermarket underdrive pulley (such as SLP or ASP) or only a stock pulley set-up?

It works VERY well. I have about 475rwhp and 460rwtq and since I installed this tensioner I've had ZERO belt issues. Well worth the $$ IMHO for torquey motors. My belt was coming off the stock tensioner pulley everytime I hammered the car.

Thanks for the feedback and support. I know several of you guys with the tensioners have been telling other users about it and we REALLY appreciate that!

Yes, it becomes even more important when using aftermarket pulleys or dampers.
