I think the 7 series grills are way too big...

That's why, if possible, I strongly recommend avoiding roads covered with winter-abrasives or newly-paved areas where small black stones are still lying on the road.. They are kicked up by the tires from traffic in front of you, and can pit your whole front end. A bra, of course, will help some, but they can cause other damage with abrading and trapped moisture.

I can't remember when I've seen rock chip damage in the grill of one of my cars, but I've sure seen lots in the bumper/front end. The paint is a lot more vulnerable than the material used in the grills.

Actually passed one today thought it was an Avalon due to unfamiliarity. Looked over and a very elderly gentleman was in it. Looked really long but with clear RWD proportions. Looked good. With a drop and wheels it could look nice but most owners don't mod it. Maybe we can figure Somethjng out for SEMA .
The 7 series looks great. That is a poor angle and a non M-Sport.

For the most part, I don't agree. Chips will definitely show up, big-time, on the chrome-coated plastic. That's partly because the plastic itself is not as strong as metal....though, granted, it doesn't corrode like the old real chrome-plating over steel.

I think that's more than a little over the top. It's a beautiful car, the grille is just proportionally too. It IMHO.

Meh. I'm seeing $1k bonus cash from Hyundai on some of them when using cars.com. I hope you aren't looking at incentives on 2014 models like you were in another thread...
