think i might be adding on a lower section as well (like the RBR320). i figured out how to attatch it securely... had it all cut... went to fit it and realize my final "trimming" was just a bit too much and i had cut too much off and have to restart now. however it did look pretty good i think. tied the whole thing together

I just purchased a whole roll (4'x10') of steel mesh for $15. I plan on making a scoop screen as well. If anyone needs a few feet I can fix you up.

haha thanks guys. and yes. gutter guard. i also bought some of that garage door weather stripping for a DIY crack-proof front lip. Planning on doing that sometime in the near future. you shoulda seen the look on the face of the guy at home depot when i inform him the gutter guard, garage door weatherstripping and zipties are for my subaru.. he probably thought i had that car beat to hell and back and it was being held together by home building supplies

gutter guard won't last long. bugs, stones, and such will dent the heck out of it in short order. make a template and be ready to replace it often.

Blame the quality of the pic first (taken with a cameraphone in twilight

). The assembled grille is.... slightly better quality? But was cheap-ish! On the high side the mesh was an aluminum weave and can be re-bent and re-shaped about a dozen times.
