I should Work at Oakley

It's something I've been debating about for quite a while now which is restoring my original pair of Oakley's I purchased new back in 1999-2000. They are Emerald FMJ XX's and are in non-wearable shape at the moment due to my everyday use and less than stellar upkeep. I could take pictures of them but I think I would be banned for the condition they are in at the moment
With that being said though they are quite sentimental and I am torn about if I should leave them as is or restore them back to their former glory. I have aquired all of the pieces to restore them minus sending them to Chop and having them painted but one of my concerns is I will loose the "Oakley" on the nose bridge and for some reason it's bugging me. The more I think about it, the more I want to leave these 'as is' and look to purchase a set of glasses I could restore and use a a wearable pair to represent my first set.
What have some of ya'll done with your first pairs if you still have them? I don't have a huge case (yet) but I will display them proudly in poor condition when that time arises if they are still in used shape. Thanks for your input everyone.
