I wanted to do that but I couldn't find gutter guard that was long enought to fit all the way across the bottom by the fog lights. It would look cool if you could do it. IMO I think it would look good too if you had the Stillen front lip with the mesh.

you can buy the gutter guard in like 20 foot rolls. i think that would be long enough. did yours come in squares or something?

It came in like three foot strips, 7 in a package. I didn't know it was available in big rolls like that. Thanks.

I tried that already putting a gutter gueard where the fogs are, lets just put it this way, if you can make it fit, and if you can make it hold, thennnnnn all powerrrr to youuuuuuuu.
BUT GOOD LUCK

Between Fogs

I have seen that in some Hondas and other cars, and if you do it right it looks great, if you mess up your screwed because a new bumper costs like $300. When I did the grille I saw what to do and had instructions, and a replacement wouldn't be much money. But Cutting into the bumper on a job I don't think's ever been doine on a Max is a bigger risk then I am willing to take. Then again I don't know much about anything when it coems to working on cars.

lets see...

I think behind those openings. Behind the Bumpers slits and behind the air spliters on the lower bumper. Definately. and since that stuff bends when hit. paint it semigloss black before youi install it. This might be a summer project!

well i've been trying to do that now for a couple of hours and it just wont work right. i didnt try to do the area between the fogs but i tried the slit between the blinkers right under the grille. theres no way to get it to stay in there. i got it looking all perfect and when i put it in it was sagging in the middle. you'll have to put screws in to get it to stay up, theres no way i'm putting screws on there so maybe one of you guys can figure it out. let me know.
