I've seen this statement before...that is why I have insurance. It would be covered under comprehensive with no deductible.

Two wires on top through the holes in the bumper where the tag holder bolts in.
Two wires on the bottom in the slots where the tabs of the tag holder pop in. You can slide wire or zip ties between the plastic bumper cover and the bumper itself on the bottom so they are not visible.
Run your wires or ties through the mesh on the bottom of the back side where it's not visible and tighten up.
It's actually galvanized screen for your gutters, it's where the gutters are at HD. It comes in strips 6" wide by about 4' long, perfect size. I cut some off the ends to make it easier to put into place. If it gets damaged, pull it out and put in a new piece, cheap to fix.
This cost all of $4 at home depot, cheap mod and looks much better IMO.

Right down to the metal...

Picked a scrap piece of screen off the ground at my buddy's house after he had his gutters replaced so it didn't cost me a dime.

I'm going to try this over the weekend.
Is plasti-dip the right choice if I want to paint it black?

Apparently it can be bought in black, per one of the previous posts. I was going to spray mine black with rustoleum, thought I'd try this first. You could plasti-dip it as well I guess.
