Air Dam Gutter Instructions
For 3.2 only. I do not know how to do it for 2.5:
1. Premium Hinged Gutter Guard by Gutter World (Thanks LagunaTL). $ 1.17/pc.
2. As is.
3. From the top, Remove the Shawl that covers the space between the Bumper and the Radiator, easy pop out dowels, 6 pcs. By now, you should see daylight where you can slide your guard.
4. On the left (facing the engine), remove another shawl, also dowels snaps. Need to get access to the area where you will screw in.
5. Prepare some metal screws and metal snaps (to screw in your screw). Or nuts and bolts, whichever works for you. Need 3 sets.
6. 3 locations, I recommend to use, check out the 2 lowest screw holes on each side of the air dam. The other screw hole is the middle (off center) hole that was used for the Plate bracket (use a large head screw). On this middle screw, I added a shim so that the guard in not pulled in too much.
7. Drop the guard, set in place and screw in. On the left screw, you might need to pre-attach the metal snap because it is hard to reach into.
The pre-formed shape of the gutter guard works well with the shape of the air dam.
I might take LagunaTL’s advise to put in tiny copper wires for additional support in some strategic areas. But for now, it works well and is sturdy.
Hope I have given some back to ya’ll!

that looks tight, would look even better if you got rid of the black grille and maybe extended the mesh all the way to the sides. looks good though. too bad i can't do that to my car
