If your friend receives the grills undamaged and they become cracked after installation, that tells me that they are being contorted and stressed into an un-natural shape by the installer.
These grill are well known and used by many without reports of cracking. Three strikes and you're out is the manufacture's stand on this and that seems more than fair to me. Pteaser = 3, installer = 0.
Custom parts often have to be finessed a bit to work best. If a tab won't automaticlly line up with a bolt, maybe a hole needs to be elongated, a bracket bent a bit or something shimmed. What you don't do is force the part into a shape that sure to fail.
