Very nice. By the way, you’ll want to apply a LOT of plasticizer to the turn signal stalks and especially the front stalk clamps. They get old and brittle and if they crack, you’re SOL on the front clamps because they’re NLA and Honda doesn’t have another run scheduled.

Yeah, I've noticed that. The left control pod is turning pretty gray too. I think the last owner did some gluing to hold the turn signal plastic together. It's a clean job, with very little showing, but it's still glue.

The control pods turn gray no matter what you do. I don’t know how Honda tinted them at the factory, but it’s not paint or anodization.

I do know that a little light oil applied to it seems to seep in and turns it back to black with no apparent residue on the surface. I’m thinking they were originally oil impregnated or something.
