My take on 986 bumper grill mesh

OK, getting cabin fever here in NY because of the weather, so I decided to give the front bumper mesh grill inserts a go on my facelift bumper. I purchased 2 different gutter guards, one from Home Depot, and one from Lowes. I went with the Home Depot one (Amerimax Premium Hinged Gutter Guard sku# 4982185280). It molds very easily by hand, and I liked the design.

First off, WEAR GLOVES! When you cut, edges are sharp! Try and cut on the edge of the pattern and take your time, I used tin snips, and cleaned the edges with a Dremel afterward. I still need to tweak it a bit, and the final product will be Plasti-Dipped black. Rather than zip-ties, I am going to use stainless safety wire, and possibly a couple of small rivets with washers where not visible.
