Not bad, but I'm not really a big fan of gutter guard grills since you can see through them and that big hood latch thing is right there. It's a million times better than when people just stick the mesh overtop of their old grill though..

Home depot gutter guard has a nicer mesh design, cheaper, and will last longer than the reactive stuff.
Just an FYI. ;)

Actually, I'd suggest eye protection, at least for the little guy. Dremel+plastic=blindness....
Nice mod though. :)

Nope i just cut the mesh a little bit bigger than the grill part, and actually squeezed it in between the frame and the bezel....if that makes sense
