IT'S ALIVE!!! Was using my dead one to see what scuffing it some would do and plugged it in just for the hell of it and it's working again! Damn, that's a surprise. It's been sitting there for months. Tried it many times since and nothing.
Scuffing it up is fairly effective. You can kind of see the effect. Looks more opaque when it's not on. Could do more but want to try it first to see how it does and go from there. Can always do more, can't take it back easily. Try it tonight if I get a chance and see how it works.
Looks rough since I scraped the paint off trying to get under the edge but pretty easy to paint them. If you do best to leave the protective plastic on the front. Kind of comes already masked.
