About the grille... I”ve actually measured the grill and from the outside edges of the surround, it is approximately 26.5 inches wide and 17.25 inches tall. So, including the surround, minus the dip in the center at the top and bottom of the center of the kidneys, the total area of the grille is approximately 450 square inches. The top edge of the grille at it’s highest point is only about 26.8 inches off the ground.
For comparison, if somebody is bored today... I would like to know that the dimensions/area of an M340 grill is, including the surround. I wonder is it’s really that much smaller, or is the angst over the 4 mostly about the different shape, which I suspect it is.

In my opinion that is not the problem with the Bugs Bunny grills. It is the height vs. the width. Horizontal grills make the car look aggressive; vertical grills make it look soft.
