I think it looks good, like others said, just paint the clamps,,have you driven with it at highway speed? Does it make any noise or whistle or any sound when cruising? Just curious..

That looks like the aluminum gutter cover to me.
Right OP?

That's a good cheap idea, and looks good to boot. As my dear old Dad would say, "That's using your head for something besides a hat rack".

Yeah this was just the black metal mesh gutter cover from Home Depot. To clamp it I used the pre existing license plate mounts up top with zip ties and below used metal clamps in the shape of a V that had premade ring spots to hook to wired mesh. Just clamped them down with pliers. I'll take better pics when I'm home tonight.

Also have gotten up I about 55mph no issues as far as noise or movement.
