W124's

Put the OEM grill back on (well, painted black of course)...I think I prefer it over the S600 style. I was also always concerned about the radiator because its flimsy plastic vs wood and I am sure anything picked up on the freeway @ 70mph would plow through that plastic and do some serious damage.
Also...
Seeing as my wheels are only 16", do you think I would have any rubbing issues with a 1-1.3" drop?

I think the flimsy S600 style grills have no business being on a W124. They might look good in pictures, but I think they stink when you actually see one in person. I tried one too, but it was such a piece of junk I took it right back off.
I also noticed that a lot more water was getting into my engine area, when I washed my car one time with the S600 grill still mounted. I figured lots of other stuff would likely get in too, so that was another good reason to get that thing off my car. The OEM grill really does a nice job of protecting the radiator and it looks very good when painted black.
Since this is a picture thread, here is mine with a black grill.
