rather than get a chrome alternator, just relocate it to A/C so you can get taller valve covers. They make the whole engine look MUCH better. Reference the picture I posted on page 1.

For anyone who cares, and wants a pretty engine compartment (withtout spending money on bling stuff)
1. THROUGHLY pressure wash everything (be carefull around the sensors and opti)
2. wipe down all surfaces
3. get a can of clear coat, and clear over all the factory paint under the hood (Shines up NICE)
4.) neverdull anything aluminum
5.) armor-all or WD40 all rubber and black plastic
The whole process will take like 3-4 hours, but it's worth it.

i would agree with him except about the can of clear...i would not use spray can clear on my engine bay and it will make a mess of your engine bay if you ever have to try to clean it off/sanding for real paint. everything you put on has eventually gotta come off, if this is what you want then find a friend that has a shop and general knowledge about painting , then remover all the lines and wires from the car and the radiator/condensor everything and do it the right way...with ppg clear. it will last much longer and will be worth your time. i am in need of doing mine as well. i am a painter so i hate rattle can paint it is a PIA when you need to paint over it or anything later down the road
