I did mine this afternoon for about $30 and a couple hours. My neighbor came over and was shocked as he paid $175 for the billet aluminim grill inserts. Gave him a beer for his sorrows! It looks as clean as all the other pictures posted.

Gutter guard, plasti-dip spray, zip ties, and gorilla glued anchors. Add in the sacrifice of a couple hours of my life and magically grill inserts appeared

What department at Lowe's are you getting the mesh from? I had three of their guys and we walked the store back and forth and couldn't find it. They had decorative aluminum sheets with different shapes but nothing like I see on these builds.

I used a screen-door protector. Oddly enough, at my Lowes, it was nowhere near the screen doors.

Did the grill mod with the stuff in the second picture from lowes. Also angry eyes, fog blinkers, black jeep logo and painted the antenna. I hate chrome.

In the gutter section I think. I'm not sure if these details have already been posted, but here's what I got from Lowes.

Amerimax 20' Vinyl Roll Gutter Guard
Item #11632
Model #85198
Price: $4.54

Do a Google search for "amerimax 11632" to find the Lowes product page.

I took the lazy way out because I didn't want a lot of left over material. I bought from ebay ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/180753523528...ESE:IT&vxp=mtr ) got it in two days. It was the same as described here with the zip tie blocks and gutter guard. I figured $30 shipped was well worth it to not have to run around searching for all the components. I'm satisfied
