Hey guys, I know this has been done before but I thought I would share anyway. I went out and got some gutter guard to make a cheap grille for my truck instead of buying a $75 billet one. Although I would much rather have a billet grille, for $3 you cant beat it...

Wow, I really need to get rid of that license plate thing. I never noticed how bad it looked until I looked at that pic...

hey, for $3, id say it looks damn good

 

Hope that image posted above. Not sure if you site will host images or not.

Personally, I think that looks pretty good!

They make that stuff in stainless steel, I do believe -- is that what that is? Really, stainless would look good, last a long time, and I don't think it's cheap looking at all as it is.

Nice work.

 

I think it looks real good - nice custom MOD

 

looks good man...oh yea that is the 4x4 grill...remember the thread about billet?

 

I hate front license plate...

But the grille looks good tho...

 

hope it's stainless steel.. or else they're rust like a ****...

 

Yeah I thought about it rusting before I installed it. Im not sure if its stainless steel, but it it isnt it shouldnt rust because I put about 5 coats of clear coat on it to make it a bit shinnier.
Thanks for the compliments...

looks really good

 

Thats awesome..i like that idea...would look awesome with a lil glow behind it aswell

 

That looks SWEET, exp. for 3$.
What does the screen attach to to hold it up?

 

I used gutter guard from Home Depot for mine. That plus the loctite marine sealant and zip ties was like $7. Worked out great. Still going strong after several submarine missions

 

3 bucks awsome deal! looks great....

 

I did that to my 98 easiest and cheapest mod around

 

I had to use 2 pieces, so I zip tied them together and put the zip tied part in the middle where the horizontal brace is to hide the ties. Then I just molded it around the grille. I didnt glue it or anything. It dosnt move due to it being pinned down against the grille and the truck.

I've seen that done before, some kid in my town done the same thing to his Ranger. Looks good even after 2 years.
