Default billet grills

I was looking into getting one, and on mustang depots site I saw this: "Slight bends in the bars of all grills are a fairly common occurrence in transport and it should be expected to manipulate the grill bars to your own standards. This can be accomplished without the threat of fatigue by warming it slightly and bending it slowly."
Has anyone actually experienced this problem? and how hard was the fix???

well heating a metal will reduce its strength but the amount that you are heating it it should be ok just don;t make it red melted hot and bend it slowly
