Just got mine done the other night. Ended up being about a $40.00 mod for me, but that is because I bought the Clippers so I would have them and that was about $18.00 of it right there. Got all the other parts at Lowe's, and had the Rustolemium Satin Black left over from another project.

Will get some pictures up shortly.

Default Did mine

Started off with the strips of galvanized gutter guard - painted red . at first used the adhesive blocks for zip ties - but they came off first day. Strangely the ones in the areas that hadnt been cleaned well stuck best.

Redid after scraping off all of the sticky pads and using gorilla glue . what a PITA removing the pads. took a couple of hours.

finished jop - looked good - please ignore that i didnt wash it.

looked good but i wasnt convinced it would last long term .

So redid with expanded aluminium mesh. One piece method attached to the horizontal bars top and bottom with a couple of zip ties.

Did this a couple weeks ago. Used the plastic guard from Lowes. Think it came out great. Super easy and cheap mod. Those are the best ones.
