Some little tinkering was done along with the bumper work. I tried polishing the lower grille,
and the results look pretty promising. Not good by a far cry, but better than rattle can
silver for sure. I can always paint the bright stuff later if I get tired of it, but it's harder to
unpaint bumpers and grille once it's done.
Having a real bad "before" situation helps
Most of the trim and emblems are removed for polishing or sanding.
Some new bits have been clicked home off the net, like new front turn lights,
pedals, arm rests, window cranks etc. Those bits will make the car look well
maintained, even if the bright work is a bit on the shabby side.
