There are six or seven pop-up anchors across the top, 5 clips along the bottom, and a clip near each of the turn signal lights. Use a long handle flat blade screw driver to gently pry the clips loose. In any case... don't try and force things.

I ordered a black mesh kit from amazon a few weeks back and installed it last week. Looks good, but I wish I would have seen this thread before and put gorrila glue or similar on. Now I need to take off the front end again and reglue all the pieces when I have time.

I made a mistake, i actually bought it from ebay, but either way it was around $27 for the kit
So far it has held up really well, its a firm coated black plastic material, soft enough that it flexes so it won't snap and break. I liked this kit as a cheaper alternative to metal to see if I liked the look and it wont rust. i just need to do the gorilla glue to finish it off better
Also, the sale mentions that it comes standard black, but for a $15-25 upcharge you can order it oem paint color matched to whatever JK color

Its a powder coated metal, not gutter guard. I did it myself at first but didnt like the plastic. Not bad considering mcmaster site sells them for about $40 shipped un painted. I'd rather spend a couple extra sheckles to have it done right; powder coated. No chips anywhere. Ill post some pics later. I'd reccomend it to anyone
