The gutter guard comes in strips about 3 feet long. I think one pack gave me enough to do the entire grill. yes, you cut 7 strips and you cut them to width as well so they don't overlap too much. Then you use self-adhesive clips on the back of the grill and zip tie the gutter guard strips to the clips.

I used two clips on the vertical areas between holes and one at the top and bottom of each hole. Lightly zip it on there and it works great to keep crap out. I had a rock come off a dump truck and bounce in front of me and into my grill. I was super pleased it didn't bust my windshield. When I got out, I saw it cracked the grill guard's mesh in about 3 intersections but didn't bust through. Totally worth the $13.

The fun part is there are 5-6 kinds of gutter guard you can use and get completely different looks. The plastic is easiest to work with, but I did my old Honda Element's grille in stainless and it lasted 8+ years before I sold the vehicle.

I'll look for some pics but I think I lost them.
