That gives it a much tougher look! Grrrr.

 

good mod, and cheap, thanks

 

got mine done....
plastic gutter guard from LOWeS $4.50
cut 7 pieces
used my wife's hot glue gun, and glue it straight to the grille...
I used 5 large glue stick total, a lot of glue, and feels pretty solid... hopefully it will stay on in the summer...

 

I did mine about 2 months ago, they haven't budged since..

I bought plastic gutter guards from Lowe's cut in individual pieces a little larger sized to the actual grill openings. From there, i painted, applied an extreme bond glue to each cut-out and glued them to the back of the grill.

I suggest paiting modifications to the exterior a flat back color using Plasti-Dip spray paint from Lowe's.. I've used this for multiple applications before and it adheres and withstands the extremities of all seasons..

 

I just did this on my JK, came out really nice. The home depot by me only had long strips of metal gutter guard. I got 1" black zip tie blocks that fit perfect, and black zip ties. I removed the tape from the zip tie blocks and used epoxy to attach them to the freshly cleaned grill. I cut the gutter guard to size, and since it was silver, i primed it, and painted it with truck bed liner to hopefully hold up to rocks and such. Here's some pics:

 

I've spent the last 2 months modding the heck out of my new Jeep. This grill mod was one on my list. After reading ALL the postings to this thread I made my decision.

I went to my local ACE Hardware and found a piece of 24"x36" metal screen. It had a clover pattern to it and was in a silver finish. I used Krylon prep-free paint and put several coats on it.



I epoxy'd on the zip tie blocks and allowed them to ahere for a week. Not that it as necessary, but I was busy doing other mods. It took me 3 hours to cut and pull the zip ties down tight. The result?



Overall, it's nice. It's lightweight and fairly unique... I think.

Total cost just under $50 bucks.

 

Looks like a still shot from "Hoarders" I guess endless Jeep modding will do that to you!

 

Haha yea that part of my basement has become a storage spot for old clothes I use for work and my massive sneaker and hat collection.

 

Had to re-do my grill mod didnt wait for the glue to set the first time around and had some zip tie anchors fall off. So here it is fixed .....

 

very nice... may be doing this in the future
