Mone doesnt and the radiator and some hoses are just exposed to the air and anything hitting them. Is there supposed to be a grill in there? If so can someone link me to the part?

Nope, not supposed to be anything there. On 4x4 trucks and some Edge 4x2 trucks, tow hooks come through that opening so a grille would not be possible. There are aftermarket companies that make them, you just have to browse Ebay and Amazon to find them.

Interesting, thanks!n I would think they would put something there to keep things from smacking into the radiator

The A/C condenser is in front of the radiator, so that wasn't really a worry for them. It would take a freak event to get something to launch high enough to get through that opening. It's totally possible, but the chances of an airborne item getting deflected by the surrounding bumper valance are very high.
