Wait one second... Do you (Truck Dude) honestly think you could weld either a plastic grill or cheap gutter guard? I'm sorry but I just have been following your posts and if you honestly don't know what you are talking about please don't put in your pointless two cents. Sorry for sounding like an *** it just makes people who know what there talking about have to go further down to actually give someone some good advice. Sorry but it needed to be said.

im 16 years old, this is my frist vehicle that i bought with my own worked-for money, and if i had to say, i think thats something to be pretty damn proud of. Do you think i know and care about what gutter gaurd is made of? i would assume aluminum or some light metal......Theres no such thing as a stupid question. If he didnt weld it i asked to see how he attched it to the inside of the grill, and since you think you know it all, why dont you tell me exactly how he did it. Im sure you can teach me everything else there is to know, because i know i have alot to learn still, and asking questions is how I learn.

I went to lowes for the gutter gaurd wich was about 6 dollars for 3 pieces, and each peice is long enough to do each grille section and still have some left over to do your rear valance thing! I bought a pair of tin snips for about six dollars to cut the stuff easier. I also bought the clear wire ties and thats what holds it in, its not show quality but as you can see they are invisible if you do it right. It takes some bending to get each piece the way you want it but it only took me about an hour to do the whole job! anyways good luck and if anyone makes one show us your grille!
