i used home depot gutter guard for my mesh on my maxima too. i'm hesitant to do the same on the tc because of rust. did you spray anything on yours? i sprayed it with clear coat before installing it and it looked great on the maxima for a few months. but after raining and washing, its beginning to look bad. i'm thinking of spraying some Rustoleum silver paint to restore the color back and prevent future rust.

Ok I got the whole thing up until you put the finished grill back in the front bumper. The black thing had all the slots that conected to the bumper and the silver thing just attached to it. So how do you get the mesh to stay in. Are you just going to take the left over mesh and tuck it behind something or what. If that is the case what do you think of cutting out the honeycomb part of the black thing and attaching the mesh to it. It would be alot stonger and hold the shape of the opening better.
