    Emblem Restore? Empty Emblem Restore?

    Hello Everyone,

    Just wondering what the best way to restore the side emblems on a first gen is? They don't seem like they were a shiny chrome originally, but i could be wrong. Can they be polished at all or would rechroming be the best way to go? Just wondering what anyone else has done?
