It's not too hard to straighten. I have sold several sets on E-Bay that I stripped mechanically, took the dings out and polished. They looked like new but you would have to maintain them with a polish or similar since it's then bare aluminum.
Whatever finish you chose you have to consider that there are 3 pieces to do since the top piece under the Targa top connects to the sail trim. I finally broke down and bought new sail pieces since the replating charge was just as much as new pieces. Chrome would be MUCH brighter than the factory finish. |
