A/E Mod & restoration...

Before:

Looks great! Got the resto part of the title but I'm confused on the mod part lol. Maybe I'm too tired and just missing it.

I actually didnt paint it, all i did was rub the chrome off with water, a towel, and elbow grease lol.

Thanks btw. I like it a lot, and the lenses look amazing. I didnt realize just how much light you lose in "yellow haze"
