V-Belt Pulleys for Engine Dress Up

Now that the warmer weather has arrived, I'm finding myself showing the car more often.

One of the eye sores when I pop the hood is the stock pulleys. I'm thinking about going to some pulleys that have a nice brushed aluminum look.

Anyone have suggestions on where to get a set of pulleys for our engines?

Thanks!

Thanks Jerryl, I just called them and it's $250 for 3 pulleys. It seems a bit more than I was expecting, so this may just have to wait.

break out the samdpaper and a scotch brite pad and sand your stock pulleys down to bare metal.
then, shoot them with a few coast of aluminum paint ,and hit them with the scotchbrite pad again after the paint dries.
there ya go- big $$$ billet look for pennies.

I was actually thinking the same thing after hearing that price.

Thanks Novaderrik
