the cost was for the new alternator and the rebuild of the old one, as well as polishing the unit..

the whole engine bay is polished (not chrome) so I wanted it all to match.. I got a PowerMaster 150 amp from Summit, I think it was like $170 and $150 to have the casing polished by a local shop. The rebuild of the old one was $75, while I could have just rebuilt that one and not had to pay for a new one or the polishing, it took 2 weeks to get it back and I didn't want my car sitting at the shop for 2 weeks.
