Another thing done! Last week I worked with the emblems, but could not re-park the car, so no sensible photos were made, but! Here's something you might like.
So, I totally don't get the white/amber indicators on post-88 CVs. I am guessing that the clear ones were solely for the 91 model year... but that's just a guess. Nevertheless, I do not fancy clear ones, especially when they are a bit milky, and cracky. Sure, one can polish them a bit, but still, I prefer my cars to keep the amber indicators. It looks more USDM than the other option. So I decided to refresh the lamp bezels a bit. They were definitely not looking nice:

Notice how many "extra" screws have been placed there! Fortunately, I was able to unscrew all of them, and dismantle the set:

Got a transparent amber foil, and polished the clear parts. I might actually want to put additional "side" lightbulb there, but that's a plan for the future. As for now, I got these:

And I love them. A bit too grapefruit in colour, but still, they look like new!
