Take bumper off
take grille out
take grille apart
dremel out the the piece of the inner grille the black bar and honda emblem
put the Gutter gaurd in the place of the inner grille
use epoxy or whatever to attach it to the plastic
let dry put back together in the reverse steps

DIY

yeah but if you did that you'd have a hole at the edge of the black piece where you cut the fin out. You'll have to fill that with some bondo or something. I thougth about doing this but an SI grille was less work

being that your car is taffeta white, just buy a can of white krylon paint and some clear coat. it matches fine.

I don't know what exactly you are considering chicken wire, but I did my grille for less than 2 dollras over a year ago with the gutter guard stuff (did'nt paint it either) and it looks fine still.
