Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics "Gutter Guard"

Don't hang me for this. I don't post what I can't find with search (both the forums and the mailing list) and this is no exception.

Anyways... I'm wondering if I purchased the correct product for the mesh "Gutter Guard" grille that everyone loves so much. What I bought has the brand name "Gutter World", comes with a slight curve and cost approx. $1.30 for a rectangular slab that's just slightly larger than the entire grill.

My second concern is how flimsy the stuff is. Has anyone used any type of reinforcement that I should know about? I was thinking about mounting two or three hard, black (less visible), plastic bars behind the mesh instead of using the Ford emblem and stock grille (getting rid of them is the goal here ).

Perhaps it's feasable to buy one or two more pieces and glue 'em back-to-back to increase the overall dexterity of the mesh... Maybe someone knows of some better material.

.RMk..

Hmm... did I mention I bought an E1? Guess I'd better change my sig...

You bought the right stuff. I'm using it right now, and I've had no problems with durability. I was a little worried too, but once it's in there, it's pretty firm. Check sig for install pics.

The stuff I bought at Home Depot a couple years ago was a little taller than the grill, and probably 4' long.

I've had mine on for a couple years now and no problem with it being flimsy or anything.

And the mailing list sucks. I can't believe anyone subscribes to that hunk of junk
