5 dollar grill insert

i was looking for a grill insert for 98 ford X- i found it for 100 dollars- thats alittle 2 much for me - so i went to Lowe's - i was looking for somekind of metal mesh - i found some thing great looking - "Premium Hinger Gutter Guards" it looks great
and i got 5 of them of them for only $5.36 - it took me 30 min to install the top and the bottom - IN MY GALLERY i have pics of it t- TAKE A LOOK AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

Looks very good, did you finish (seal) the mesh with anything?

Yea how did you attach that? I like the way it looks for 5$.

Do any of these grill inserts restrict the air flow that cools the engine to a point that it would be dangerous? I dont know thats why im asking.

I do know that a screen on a window in your home resricts air flow by 50%
