The red emblem will definitely increase horsepower by a good 8%!

Cheapest I have seen is around $50 for just the grille inserts, not including the bumper inserts.

Anyone seen them cheaper or better built ones?

Thanks!

So that is gutter guard at like Home Depot/Lowes?

How did you attach it to the grille itself? Are those wire ties of some sort?

Thanks!

Yep home depot. I just used zip ties. I am sure there are other ways, but that was easiest for me. drilled small holes, and attached.
I now have a custom insert made with stainless steel, gutter stuff is still in the bumper

OK, bought black gutter guard, and while I was optimistic at first, doesn't look bad at all! (Supplies used: Black GG and small 4'' zip ties) A few strategically placed dabs of silicone will ensure this thing rests flush on the grille. Will do that when there is no snow on the dam ground... or about 32F with no wind

Pics!
