The co-drivers side looks much much clearer. Is that the angle of photo or?
LOL - you got it, the driver's side is the one I polished - it's not as 'shiny' as the new one on the passenger side - I really should have taken one 'before' with the same shot - especially with the lights on - the driver's side wasn't clear at all and the light dispersed like it was behind wax paper...

I somewhat agree as the applique is more resistant to airborne particulates
during rides, e.g. salt, sand, gravel, etc which have a sandblasting effect on
the plastic lens. I don't have much insight in respect to UV resistance between
spray and laminate.
