My gutter guard grill Part 2 (pics)

Here's the different combos I was thinking. Let me know what you like best.

Plain:


With Type S:


With the CL- S


Type S on the right:


A symbol and CL-S:


Just the A emblem:


CL-S on the right


I'm thinking of putting the A back on because the grill is just too big and plain. But the little tiny typeS by itself is too small so I had to throw the cl next to it. Lemme get some opinions. Thanks

Go with the " A " emblem only. Looks way better than blank IMHO.

Yeah, go with the 'A' emblem, it's too dman big to leave empty. If anything, try the 'A' emblem and just the 'Type-S" (without the 'CL') on the lower right.

Whatever you do, don't do any of the ones where you put any symbols on the left side - that just looks dumb.

OUCH, who drilled two holes in your bumper???

Question: How strong is that mesh? I would be worried if someone were to press on it and cave it in.

I saw the SAME gutter Guard with the hinges at HD. You can also get that material in bigger sheets (it's used in drywall/plaster work)

I kinda like the S and cl symbol along with the A.
but then again, I live in miami and see this crap day in, day out. so I am used to it

Can you PLEASE take a couple of pics with just the "A" from further away, and also at different angles??? ...PLEASE!!!

BTW: It looks GREAT! ...Sorta CLK-Benzish!

Also, do you think the black spray paint is going to hold up to bugs and debris?

I don't have two holes. It might look like that but its just dirty. Yes its's the hinged gutter guard at home depot. It is a bit short (width-wise), but if you position it correctly it will work. The huge sheets for masonry will not work it is way too stiff and you will just end up with bloody fingers.

I think I'm going to go for the A symbol and the CL type S on the right side. I feel that our grill is HUGE enough that it won't lok cluttered.

If put on correctly and tight then someone pushing on it will not cave in. The bugs and pebbles dont seem to be a problem.

Finally I used Rustoleum paint because of the metal nature. I was thinking Hi-temp paint because the grill gets quite hot, but I'm sure its not hot enough to start flaking. If it does I'll just make another one and use hi temp paint.

Ogolden you're killing me here!! I'll take some pics and post asap.
