The last thing I need is a baseball sized bit of road rubble bouncing in and smashing my IC at highway speeds. I'll most likely leave the license plate where it is though, as the off-center look is fine, and unique as far as I'm concerned.
I don't think a cheesy billet grill will stop a baseball-sized rock from smashing through that opening and knocking a dent into the IC. You'll need something a little more sturdy if you're looking to deter large objects like that...

it probably wont stop it, but it sure as hell will slow it down.
