Below is the link for the box. I have a HF close by so I picked it up. Make sure you use the 20% HF coupon. The code is 83634902 if you buy it online and it ends January 31st, or you can print the coupon and take it in store. Its everywhere just google it.

Hope that helps.

Just finished the gutter gaurd grill and it looks amazing! The hardest part was getting the zip ties where I wanted them but other than that extremely simple and way worth the time. Will try to get a better picture in the morning.

Looks good!! Did the same mod two days ago. Agreed the zip ties were a pain but deff worth the time. Did you use one big piece or just like me have to cut small sections.

so ill ask it....WHY are you guys doing this ANGRY eye thing (ok i know you think it looks cool)....but its REDUCING the coverage of the LOWBEAM & SHOULDER (or center line, on the drivers side) coverage.

the headlights are bad enough w/out reducing them & their coverage further !

I don't notice a difference at all but I also just did a light tint on it. I'm not sure about the black vinyl ones. Maybe some people have better bulbs and not the factory ones...ya think of that?

imo it wouldnt matter if they have better bulbs or not, they're blocking the headlight coverage in a critical area.
even with better bulbs (if youre covering the headlight w/ a OPAQUE material) youre blocking/stopping light.

Because people want to.

Why do people put a sticker across the top of their Windshield when it reduces visibility of stoplights when stopped? BECAUSE they want to!
