Do I need fasteners or hardware to install this?

The grille uses factory mounting points, but fasteners are not included. Source OEM-spec bolts to match your existing holes—your Crown Vic's service manual lists the exact size and torque spec.

Will the black mesh and chrome finish stay looking good without clear coat?

The finish arrives pre-sealed. If you want extra protection or plan to polish the chrome, a clear coat or automotive wax will extend its life and resist oxidation.

What if this doesn't fit when it arrives?

Test-fit immediately after unboxing. Check alignment with hood and bumper before committing fasteners. If clearance or mounting holes don't align, contact support with photos—they'll handle returns or replacements per their policy.
