Hey man- If you've got a Home Depot close, go there and spend all of $25.00 for the whole thing!! (And no shipping!)
Building materials has gutter guard
Electrical has zip ties and zip tie blocks
Tools has some wire cutters (if you dont have any already)
and grab some guerilla glue anywhere ya see some (for the permanent aspect of the mod)
Good luck!!

I saw this today and I think its great. I was wondering if anyone has used 3M Yellow weatherstrip adheasive? I used to use it on valve cover gaskets. I would glue the gasket on the cover and still be able to keep the gasket from buldging out and leaking. Anyway, I was thinking of useing this stuff. It sticks to everything, and is heat resistant, then use smaller GA aluminum wire to hold it to the tabs, that way the zip ties wont bake so fast.
so i epoxied them on this time, i'd like to see them fall off now...

did you use the 5 minute epoxy? That stuff is incredible. I still like the method of a solid piece of stainless on the radiator, just looks easier for one thing once the pattern is made.

Paint is Rustoleum 7271 Silver Metalic which looks like an identical match for this application. But I would not go touching up body parts with it

yeah saw these last Sat with the stick on ziptie holders, they were all off on the guys JK, definitely like the one solid piece molded/mounted to the rad better.

That pic looks familiar! Check this link out:

$49 is a bit steep don't ya think? You could at least make it free shipping! $49for the "kit" plus $10 for black plus $10 for shipping equals $69 for seven pieces of gutter guard, some tie blocks and zips ties???
But hey I have seen people spend their money on dumber shit!
I hope you sell a bunch of them...good luck!

I don't know if the ebay guy is mt3 or not but this is one of the pictures used in the sale. Hey if he can get folks to shell out $49 bucks for it, why not. There are plenty of overpriced "mods" out there...the Outlaw mirrors for $129, the Bestop Hood applique--rediculous at any price (no offense to megatron), $500-$600 cat back exhaust systems that basically just replace the muffler (in the stock location too), all of the chrome accessories (bling bling costs cha-ching)....
