    Of all things, I thought I put new batteries in the camera...gees! Tried new ones and it's fine and here are the pics:

    - The 'hook' (bent end) to hold the screen from falling (made from wire coat hangar)
    - Needle nose pliers I used to hold the screen before thinking to use a coat hangar
    - Wire mesh. I hope it's galvanized....
    - Photo of hook holding the screen (sorry was dark in garage)
    - Zip ties, which are 4"
    - Flat head screwdriver (to gently pry back that piece that's touching the grill to be able to push the screen past it)
    - Wire cutters & measuring tape

    Don't think so, but ptbo spray painted his. Just looking at the car, you can't tell, only up close.

    Yes, money-money! The guy at Lowe's told me the paint may wear off. We can ask ptbo how his is doing down the road, but really, you don't see the silver mesh unless you're close and 'looking' for it, along with the zip tie locks.
