Well...ummmm...I have actually "re-polished" mine over the past week...and I must admit that they are now closer to the chrome ones in the pics (except the cutouts). They are at least half again shinier than they were in the pics above...

After Carlisle, I'll get some pics.

I would polish, If you bump a curb it can be fixed [Image: biggrin.gif] Crome, if bumped can flake off [Image: eek.gif]
