Do I need fasteners or brackets to install these louvers?

Installation hardware is not included with this set. Reference your vehicle's OEM louver hole pattern or nearby trim fastener locations to source appropriate fasteners for your mounting surface. Most installations use self-tapping screws or panel fasteners available at any automotive supplier.

Can I paint these louvers myself, or do they require special prep?

Yes. Sand the surface with standard automotive sandpaper, clean away all dust, and apply your chosen epoxy primer and topcoat. FRP accepts most automotive paints and clears without issue—no special sealer is required beyond normal surface prep.

What's the difference between raw FRP and pre-painted FRP?

raw FRP ships with a light protective coating that preps the surface for paint adhesion. Pre-painted units ship with color already applied. raw FRP gives you full control over finish color and gloss level, and it's easier to feather repairs into surrounding panels later.
