I don't know the "someone" you're referring to so I can't speak to the  truth
of what they told you, if they actually know someone with an SA Grille, or
if they actually said they were unhappy with the product. I can speak to the
durability of the product.

In it's "original' form I would say it's durable, effective, cool looking,
and really of excellent quality. The original driving light mounting buckets
with the SA Grill are durable, well made, have adjusting screws to adjust the
aim...all A+. I think some people do not have the original driving light
buckets  and that could make the mounting of the driving lights flimsy in whatever
way  the rigged them up.

As for the actual grill, it is a soft somewhat flexible plastic. But for my
money that flexibility only makes it more durable as it has a little bit of
give. But it is in no way so flexible that it would flap in the wind.

All in all I think it's sturdy and as sold as the original grills that came
on the US busses if only a little less brittle. I've had mine for about 6
years  or more with no trouble.

That's my 2 cents. Your mileage may vary. Anyone who thinks differently  than
I do is most likely wrong ;)
