I did mine twice, the first time I used metal, painted it then attatched with the zip blocks with 2 sided tape.
After a few months alot of the zip tie blocks popped off and the grill guard was loose and was starting to rust in some spots.
I redid it with plastic gutter guard and took the 2 sided tape off the zip tie blocks and gorila glued them down.
1st try, lasted about a year.

2nd try, I like it better so far ... been about 6 months.
