Nope. .... It was pretty easy, It wouldve been easier if I had a 3 year olds hands... Kind of hard to get my hands back there, to secure it...I know a few guys ordered it too on here...

looks good kloogy but um, you got ripped. thats the exact same gutter gaurd that you can get at home stores (home depot) for $1, except its already been cut. There are tons of people on ebay making money selling that stuff to people who dont know (or are too lazy to cut it them selves) 
I had the exact same thing on my accord and paid less than $3!

I like it Kloogy, it looks really clean. Sh*t I'm in college so I can definitely understand people wanting to save a few bucks. I'd probably buy that grille-tech too, but if someone else has to do it themselves...it's all good too.

I bought this one because it didnt look like gutter guard ! I liked the way the product looked. Im not into the Rig It Yourself Mods.... Grill Tech makes a nice product, not some 1.00 piece of gutter guard....

Yeah I'm still hungover as we speak. I'm just sayin to each his own. If you can make your own mod, that's cool, as long as it looks good. Like I said, I'd probably buy it on EBay too. How does the grille-tech attach? Seems like the Home Depot ones just use zip ties.

Im not going to spend my weekend cutting Mesh from Home depot like you say, I can afford to buy something that looks better than that ! Dont be so cheap !

Well Im very touched that your 'sick' of cheap *** org members, but a lot of people dont want to burn up $40 + shipping on something they can buy at home depot for close to $1, and yes its almost identical to your grill tech. Dont get your panties in a bunch b/c i tried to give others the heads up, there ARE people on ebay selling gutter gaurd for rediculous prices smartass. And if it takes you a whole weekend cutting gutter gaurd, id hate to see you do something really challenging b/c that is pathetic
As for me, ill remain 'grilltech'-less. It looks good at first, but after a while itll look tacky when you see a max without one.
oh, just to clarify, im still in college so yea i'd like to save a few bucks here and there if i can.

Hey GENIUS , I deleted the message after your response , when you ACTUALLY looked at what the product was actually like. Go ahead and FIRE OFF your ignorant garbage. We all do stuff to our cars, and some of us like it, others dont. Dont come here FLAMING me because you want me to go buy some $1 piece of crap. If I feel like buy something for $40, I damn well will do so. Ive been modding cars since I was 16, so dont tell me what is challenging or not ! ... If thats the case dont buy an intake, show us your creativity , go to metal shop, and make on yourself Einstein !

we're all cheap and dumb, now can't we all just get along??? 
the grill looks nice.. but doesn't that restrict some airflow?? i know that's the aux grill and i knwo some cars like the new sc430 dont' even have an auxilary grill.. but dont' you want to push more air in there for engine cooling? it also will create a vacum if you restrict the airflow. it'll make more air get tripped inbetween the radiator and the bumper when you go 55+mph reducing the volume of cooler actually passing through your radiator... i'm sure your cooling system still works fine, but it's prolly not working as efficient as it used to be.

Secondly, im not running my mouth b/c i want you to buy something, i could care less what you buy!!! I said that for the sake of informing the other org members about a more cheaper alternative for BASICALLY the same product! Its not a piece of crap, you just say that b/c its $1 and your too good for that. If im wrong, then why is gutter gaurd 'crap'? Its the same d#%m material!!!
Thirdly, plz dont throw in intakes when we are talking about a TOTALLY different thing here. And you are the one who said it would take you a weekend to cut gutter gaurd, NOT ME! Just take your grill tech and be happy with it, theres going to be some people who wouldnt mind the +40 for that stuff and would like it on their car. As for me, I'll paint my upper grill same color as my car, call it a day, and spend the $40 on a couple tanks of gas. Thank you

This grill only covers the lower section. The main Grill remains stock. I understand your theory. I thought about it, but I think it still will flow nicely. If not, it comes of in 5 minutes, if I dont like it anymore...
