Speedo Restoration Before/After Pics?

Hey everyone. I looked through the forum and found some good info on speedo restoration, but could not really find any before/after pics.

Trying to get a good idea of what to expect visually from a good resto, so please post some before/after pics if you've got 'em.

Thanks in advance!
