Looks pretty good, but how bout a pic of more of the front in good light? Im not sure about the lower part though, but I like the grill.
 
This looks awesome! Can you post pictures of the inside? where did you get the material to do this? Wow you can make some money doing this!:D
 
Thanks for the compliments guys!



okay so im going to attempt a write up i guess.....



Home Depot--two 3ft pcs of gutter guard and small zip ties
tin snips or wire utters work best to shape the guards

i first removed the front grill there are 7 tabs that hold the grill in place...easy to remove

i just layed a peice of the gutter guard on the back of the grill trimmped it to fit and zip tied it around the small area of the grill in inconspicuous <-- (big word :D ) areas

i took out the toyota emblem and put a left over piece in the grill shell...you will have to play with the center verticle circle a little bit but it'll work...

on the valence i just cut a piece to fit and zip tied it in...

for 6 bucks and one hour..i think this is the best mod i've done yet......

any more ?'s.....
 
Ok heres a better pic...its cloudy here...sayin its about to storm pretty hard?????

Now that is exactly what I have been thinking about doing. Congrats...That looks Awesome. I too did a search on this and all the Mods I found were formed over the outside of the Grill, which looks good but I wanted something just a bit more understated.

BTW, nice touch with the emblem...Hadn't thought of that.

One question... Did you have to drill any holes for the Zip Ties?
 
that looks tight,

congrats


would it be better to epoxy the gutter guard to the back so there is no need for zip ties at all?
 
I think zip ties will probably be less obtrusive then expoxy. Expecially a black one or something like that. Great mod I'm thinking about going to do that one right now actually.
 
May have been a repost...idk...i read that link and they all ordered a kit i just went and bought mine from home depot....if ant of yall do it post some pics so we can see ya grill....haha nelly song...
 
just finished. truly the best cheap aesthetic mod. My only problem was, i couldent find my tin snips so i had to go buy a new pair. They were 15 freaking bucks. outta control. cost more than the gutter gaurd
 
as promised. my appologies for quality. camera phone and all
