Gutter Guard Love...

I finally tackled the gutter guard grill mod last weekend. Best $1.50 I've spent in a while, plus it was pretty fun to do. I'm thinking about making some speaker grills out of this stuff. How's it look?

Did you guys cut away any of the old grill, or is that just attached in front of the old one?

Actually it's still the silver color, but I am thinking of taking it and getting it painted black. Thanks for the compliment!

Airbrushing the grill would look nice.

Thanks for compliment. It took about two hours to complete once you get going. Taking the grill off was probably the hardest part.
