Re: (issues_ek)
heres what it looks like when u cut it out urself.
the paint doesnt seem to want to stick to the mesh ****, so i just bought the real thing from global premier. u can tell a big diff in quality IMO.
real thing.
speaking from personal experience, if i had to do it again i would of just bought it in the first place caz u dont have to worry bout the paint chippin off gutter gaurd and it just looks alot better. good luck

as long as you prime the DIY grille good and hit it w/ a few coats of good paint it wont chip. i have had mine on for 6 months through the whole winter and have no chipping. IMO it was a good $2.50 spent

Re: (MikeD718)
Another vouch for the damn gutter guard.
note that i didnt paint it. However, I have a sedan, and that outer ring thing on mine is chromed metal, not plastic. What I did was cut up an old extension cord into thin strips, then coated the rubber with some spray adhesive, like a glue. i put it on the chrome part, (no mess, i was careful) and that held there long enough for me to screw the backing of it back on.
