Polished alternator?

Hey guys, I am looking to buy a polished alternator to go with the rest of my engine bay. The one I have now is whinning and my voltage will not go above 13 when driving.

Every place I look, they all say 8x to 86. Anyone have a part number for a polished one for an 88??

140 amp shouldn't be a problem.

If you are running a stereo system, it would be best to go with the 140. Electrical load can pull away from spark and ignition power. Depending on your setup, you should go with the 140...even though the 105 will probably due.
