I'm four years into my upper and lower from Mina. Still look great. Make sure to use stainless screws to secure the lower grill. There are quite a few stories about installation. The proper way for the lower is to remove the bumper cover but it can be done just by removing the lower tray or, like in my case, just by breaking out the existing plastic. The upper is really easy, it just takes some trimming of the vertical slats. For the money, Mina is probably the best. You can pay more but I'm not sure the quality is at all any better. You can pay less and get lower quality.

Agree with mohrd. Lower is a little more work depending how you go to remove the plastic. i cut mine out but it can be removed from the underneath if you take off plastic pan cover. here is a pic after install
