yup! it's the same gutter guard from Homedepo.
If you look close my ceter opening has partial screen on it.
I think it looks better this way(sportier) than covering all openings.
Of course it's only my personal preference.

How to attach it? Superglue'em!!!
haha just kidding. avoid the glue and use zipties.
Here's the simple process.
1)go to homedepo & get yourself a nice .88cents gutter guard.
2)align the gutter on your grill, etc. & use the metal cutter to cut it. be sure to draw the outline before you cut.
3)make sure you have a slight gap between your bumper & the gutter or it will scratch up your paint.
4)use zipties to tie them down.
5)now enjoy some beer & pizza.
very easy to do it!
hope it helps..

On the top part of your grill (not the valance) do you actualy remove the stock grill? or do you attach the mesh to the stock grill? I was looking at my car, and the only way i can see to attach mesh would be to attach it to the stock grill via zip ties.

wow, i may have a problem trying to do mine, it looks good on the front of the 95-96, but my 95 has a front bumper conversion , so i would want to put it behnd the holes instead of up front, and 97-99 know if u have to take the bumper off?

Ok! guys.
Here's the pic of ziptie secret(?).
I use it from the behind then tie them down very close to each other.
When you're done with that please use white/silver paint to touch up like mine so it will belnd in with the grill mesh.
If you need step by step instruction please check the forum where you will find tons of info on this.
Hope it helps.
**To me it only cost me .88cents since I had metal cutter & zipties already**

yea, sorry about that man. Didnt mean to steal your max. Honestly, i would have completely covered up the whole valance with mesh, but i f**ked up most of the mesh. I didnt have enough to cover the whole thing. I think i cut like three patterns before i finally got the damn thing right. I am gonna redo the bottom part of the valance, and cover the whole licens part of the grill tomorrow. I'll get pics of it when i finish.

$9 for zipties?
S**t you got ripped off dude!!!
Personally if you put the Nissan emblem on front fo the mesh then it will look slightly better.
When you remove it do the dental floss trick!
Very easy to come out!
People, go to homedepo and buy yourself an gutter from "gutter world."
It's now on sale for .88cents vs 1.88 a month ago.

ok, i just finished painting my nissan (hamburger) black. The first caot is finished, and the second coat is drying. I am gonna re-attach it to the grill tomorrow. If it looks this good when its dry its gonna be badass! I was thinking about using fishing wire to re-attach it, but im gonna try that 3M tape. I didnt even think about it, but it sounds much easier
I did use the "dental floss trick", but only i used fishing line instead. i had to use some goo gone to get all the crap off the grill before puttin on the mesh.
I know nine bucks for the zip ties is a lot, but that was how much furrows charged for the extra long "thin" zip ties. The other extra long ties were really fat, and didnt look like they would work.
