alternator choices
 
I want to put in a chrome alternator. Any ideas please.

I have to ask, just because you might be the first. Why? Chrome a stock one?

That's just going to look, ah, odd.

Once you start chroming under the hood it is hard to know when to stop! Be prepared to spend some big bucks.
I looks good on bikes and open front hot rods but may be a bit extreme on these cars.

There's a saying in the motorcycle community: "chrome don't get you home". Just sayin'.

Because he wants to bitch about it when it fails next year from the chrome holding in heat, then replace it with a stock one.
