Since I have everything torn apart and finally getting close to reassembly, over a year in the making at this point, I wanted these to look just as good with the lights off as they do on.
The lenses were pretty hazy and the paint on the grid lines had seen better days. I started by wet sanding the lenses, then finished them off with a polisher for a nice buff out. After that came the tedious part: masking off every section of the lens before respraying the grid lines with SEM Trim Paint. That masking step alone feels like it takes forever, but it's worth it.
All in all, really happy with how it turned out. One down, one to go.
