Advantage FRS or Disadvantage BRZ (major concern?)

On Saturday I saw a truck with 6 - 8 BRZs in a rest area in Charlotte. We woke the driver and asked him where he was headed and he said NJ. I had a chance to get a good look at the lower front fascia of the car and noticed that the radiator was visible (exposed) through the black louvers. All the pictures and videos I saw of the BRZ never revealed this important detail. I did not like the view. It seems to me that pebbles, small flying objects, bugs, dirt can easily get caught on the radiator. Even though I feel that the black, plastic honey comb grill on the FRS feels cheap it does not expose the radiator like the BRZ. Major concern?
