Hows the gutter guard holding up? Going to do it to mine this weekend.
Do you have any pictures of it from behind?

I like that look too but the thing keeping me from doing it is I have a knight rider bar behind my grill and i think that gutter guard would block it.

07Sport, how many cable blocks and ties did you use. I just did mine and used like 60+ blocks and ties (overkill I think).

I'll post some pictures later.

I did about 10 on the grill and 5 on the lower valance, and if you want them to stay, buy something called auto trim tape its waterproof thick tape, peel of the other junk and put that on there... but I think because this stuff is so light you may not need to do that, you might could get away with them as they are since you did 60+ lol

I live in Nova Scotia and was worried the snow up here might push the inserts out so I sort of went overboard with the cable ties and blocks.

My father wants his done now, might try using a few less on his.

I figured I would show mine off. I did the five pieces in the grill and the lower valance plus painted the emblem.
