Good quality and good price
Good quality, heavy, flexible poly/plastic. Very very tight fit. There is no drilling involved, would recommend removing to tape it came with and replace with a better product. There are two tabs at either end, these go underneath the hood clasp. When attaching to hood, slide the lower lip under the front rim of hood, starting from center, press down on guard, working toward either end. Align tabs with holes for clasp screws and reattach the clasps. Looks very good and goes well with the angry bird grill.

NICE LOOKING AND EASY TO INSTALL. . .
Very easy to install - don't want to insult anybody. Those tabs (or ears as I call them) snap right off - no cutting. If you have trouble lining up the holes for the tabs, don't even use them, snap them off and peel the self stick tape. The tape is VERY strong and will have no problem holding this accessory on. Looks great, and believe me will NEVER come off. . .

Looks good
I only gave this 4 stars because as others have said you have to ream out the holes a little to get the hood latches back on, but it’s really quick and easy to do. Also on real warm days it seems to lift up in a couple spots. It hasn’t been that hot yet, so I hope it doesn’t get worse. If it does I wil take it off and put new tape on it. It sure looks good though

Looks Good
This looks absolutely amazing on my jeep. It was tricky to install at first, but once you figure out exactly what to do its perfect. Hint to new buyers. Be very careful when placing the tape because once it's down, it's not coming up. also once you screw on one side, use a screw driver to slightly shift the other side up to align the screw holes. You won't regret this purchase.

highly recommend
The item is as described high-quality unfortunately I just didn’t like the way it looked with the other added things I already had on my hood.

A tad short on the width
It looks great, was easy to install. The width was a tad short so it cracked when I bolted it down. The holes did not completely line up, so I got one side lined up and then put the others in and encouraged them which caused a small crack.

Cheap looking
I sent this item back because the plastic diamond plate looked cheap and fake. It would not sit right on my hood. I exchanged this product for the Bushwacker Trail Armor Hood Protector and like it much better.
