I believe what you are looking for is called "gutter guard". If you do a search for it, you'll come up with a bunch of hits. I have never tried it myself, but it does look like it looks good. I just hope it wouldn't block the airflow to the rad. too much...

Kewl.

So thats the gutter guard stuff at home depot...I went there awhile back ago looking for it I did'nt see it on the shelf. Do you have to ask for it or something?

And Peter it looks good! Thanks (about my page), I feel that it's a little blan but I am not that great at doing homepages...LOL

Oh by the way I am amsusing, Peter , that since you have this on your car it does not block the air to the rad? I just wanna be sure Trevor said. Thanks Everyone!

Cyndi,

Just ask one of the employees for it. Mention you are looking for 'Gutter Guard'. They should have it.

And as for the whole blocking air from the rad bit. I never noticed a change in my temp.

Oh and some people remove the bumper to install the gutter guard but i didnt have the time nor space to do that so i spent two hours fitting it without taking the bumper off, so it can be done.

If you need any more info let me know!

I installed the gutter gard mesh on my 93 laser nt and I think it looks pretty good. Didn't even remove the bumper just a little laying on the ground is all it took. I painted mine flat black and it looks nice.

Hmmm...wonder if that "Gutter Guard" has the same size mesh on it as the "nose-mask" for my car?
My Talon was over heating on the Queeensway this morning because the mesh was filled with slush preventing air getting to the rad.
Word of warning.

...then again, for our Louisiana inquiries...I'm sure it's not an issue.

I went to a michine shop and picked up some stainless steel "grating" kind of stuff for like $5... I found gutter guard to be too flimsy to work with. Besides, the stainless looks even better than the $150 crap they sell to the honda lovers!
