Default LC Grill in AZ and Desert Southwest

Has anyone who has the new LC in the Phoenix area or other desert SW areas had any problems with dirt or sand getting swept into the radiator or engine thru the large grill? Going to move from No Virginia to Phoenix next year and contemplating getting a new LC 500 or LS500 before moving. Thanks in advance fo any responses.

The grill is not as large as it appears. There is a bumper hidden behind the grill in the midsection. You do realize the LC500 and LS500 are completely different cars with completely different engines

I've lived in both places you mentioned. No problems in either place, except I HATE SNOW also hate humidity

Yes we have the rare Haboob in the Phoenix area. And I wouldn't drive anything but a beater through one if I had to.

Just push down on the clip i circle and u can remove the whole big piece in order to access the grill. When put the clip back in make sure to push it up then push down to tighten it

Look like this when u install it then push down 1 click to tighten it
