Been thinking of this one for a while. It really doesn't need it. But I have the same stuff on my scoop (aluminum mesh) and well I think an all black ''guttah'' look will do me justice. instead of light aluminum however the blackened guttah mesh is vinyl, so I'm wondering how it will hold up?? We are only talking zip ties and tin snips here, nothing major and maybe a six pack when done. But an all black grill would set off the ''look'' That everyone seems too notice with my truck, all black. I'll post before and after when I get this done, could be tomarrow, before the storm. ( I may not work) so I'll be killing time before the snow......................................chime in on any thoughts.:birgits_tiredcoffee

How tough is that vinyl? I would hate for a bird or a rock to go through it.

So you are leaving the horizontal bars on there and then having the gutter behind it?

I painted my gutter grill before the RFF insert
