I have heard the same about the gutter guards...but I only half read those
threads. That certainly sounds my speed :-) It really is a passing idea for
me and I really don't wanna spend big money. I just want to hide the upper
and lower grille areas as the age is begining to show...plus I'd like a
little more finished look to the front.
I fiure I'll try the cheapo idea first and if I really like it, I can always
spend some real money later....after the salt and snow.
So if anyone has info on these "gutter guard turned grille inserts" please
contact me or send me a link.
TIA
