When you guys rebuild the alternator, could you upgrade it to put out more amps? I know this is possible just not sure if you guys do it. Also do you know what the stock alternator puts out in amps.

Chroming involves a coating being applied to the part. The benefit of this is that it is easier to maintain as you can just wipe it down with some windex or something. The process is also very expensive. I have a friend that spent over $2000 to chrome a number of parts in his engine bay. Chrome also adds weight.

lol.. When your hoods open dumb asses will flock to the front of your car and ask stupid questions... I think they are attracted to anything shinny, kinda like bugs to a light..
