Do I need to replace the filter element separately, or is it permanent?

Filter element lifespan depends on driving conditions and air quality in your area. Plan to inspect it annually — if it looks clogged or discolored, replacement is needed. Check your vehicle's service manual for OEM filter part numbers that fit this assembly.

Will this grille fit the existing mounting tabs on my dashboard?

This assembly mounts at factory grille location points. Test-fit before final installation to confirm alignment with your dashboard opening — slight gaps can be sealed with trim or weatherstripping if needed.

Does this come with fasteners or adhesive strips?

The assembly ships as the grille and filter unit only — mounting hardware is not included. Verify your existing fasteners are compatible, or source clips and hardware matching your vehicle's original grille attachment method.
