Im not digging the silver rivets or bolts that surround the louver. Is there any way to get them in black?

Not from us. I checked with our hardware supplier for a non-corrosive black coated fastener, and came up empty. We use stainless steel so they won't rust. The only easily obtainable alternative with a black finish is black oxide, and unfortunately black oxide rusts very easily. I've heard some people refer to "black stainless" fasteners but I couldn't find them either at our supplier nor at McMaster-Carr.

if you are unable to source these elusive black stainless fasteners somewhere, you can always paint the heads of the ones we supply. I've seen some installations where that was done and it came out clean.

How about a stencil to put on the PSC logo like the Mountain Spyder decals

Not stainless but we use these at work and should work fine here if you prefer black. I am pretty sure that black anodized will hold up to the elements fine.
If you have a source for them please post it up for those who would like to use black screws. Thanks!

X2, id like to know as well, going by my gauge alone it used to read just over the halfway mark, once I installed this louver it reads right under the halfway point.

Well there you go, for anyone wanting black screws. If you want to order them ahead of time so you have them ready when your Hood Louver arrives, you can download the install template/instructions from our website, which has a hardware list of quantities and sizes. Thanks Canuckjeeper.

I don't know off the top of my head. Anyone who needs that info can download the instructions and check the hardware list.
