Well...if you've got the itch (besides using a cream for that ), then I'd definitely check the "Mods Under $100" thread:

Good luck!

Can't agree more, this is a cheap mod that looks great when done.

I used the gutter guard with zip ties, cleaned the back of the grill area with the alcohol pads before attaching the adhesives - they stick like crazy if the area is clean. Took about 2 hours - very happy!

Well, I joined the club! Finally found a roll of gutter guard at Lowes (Thanks for nothing Home Depot!), zip ties and zip cubes. I took the adhesive off and glued em onto the grill. Let it sit overnight and then i put the screen on and it looks awesome!

Default Just to mention

I would like to suggest using black zipties because they are UV resistant and can take more heat before they get brittle and break. There really is not much of a price difference.

I want to say thank you to all that have posted your pictures on this site. I finished my grill mod this past Friday. I did it all for $15.00 and I love the way it came out.
