You can pick up a sheet of diamond steal mesh at any welder shop. It looks just like the ish you pay $150 for. All you need is to make a template and cut it down with a heavy duty wire cutter or something similar. Then prime, paint, sand, paint, ect....clear coat....and vWA La
BTW ~ it will look MUCH MUCH better then the gutter mesh.
Also, you can use "re-enforcement" sheets. Its a similar mesh as the gutter gaurd but not as tranceparent.....looks much better too, AND it's aluminum so no rust...
