OK, your rebuttal is too overwhelming. I concede.
Prop rod, lugnuts, licence plate plugs, "H" emblems can all be replaced or removed.

It would be interesting to know if anybody else has gone down this route and any pit falls they had regarding mounting such an item.
You know I'm just "funning" with you, right?

Just make sure that the amp output is the same as the OEM alternator or you'll blow something. I also think the OEM alt has the voltage reg built in, so any other one you choose, you need to consider these sorts of things.

Hopefully should be able to get round both of those, just the mountings the difficult bit.

Thanks for the info.

Don't let anyone give you too much crap on weight...
Every pound does count

I have gone as far as removing my WS reservoir.
With wipers and all it's another 15lbs or so gone.
The cruise would be in the bucket already too, except that the cruise bracket and the coolant reservoir are on the same bracket. And I haven't come up w/ a good block off plate for the buttons on the wheel.
