Quantum 2017: Front Bumper Opening Needs a Grill?

[3dcal]

We just got a 2017 Quantum GR22.

It's in great condition, but noticed an opening in the
front bumper ~ 4 in X 24" (see pic).

There's no grill in back of the opening. Is that the way they are built?

Even if it is, should I put some wire cloth in back to
keep things from getting into the engine?

Thanks!

I decided to get a Car Grill Mesh (43in x 29in) Front Grill Bug Screen on Amazon.

There's already a scoop intake below the bumper that deflects air up & over the
radiator, vs directly at it from the opening in the bumper.

We've run into swarms of bees coming & going to our campsite in the desert,
and know they'd be a problem with a big hole in the bumper directly in front
of the radiator.

If it starts to overheat, I'll take it off, but doubt it will.

Would still appreciate any input from other 2017 Quantum g22 owners with same bumper.
