Yes, I believe it does. There are several different ones though, so you should check the one you purchased.

I purchased the one from F4

I just checked their description, and it wasn't clear. They use standard M6 bolts that you can get at Lowes or Home Depot if not.

How long will i need for them to be?

It should have the two for mounting it to the dash. The question is if there will also be one to hold the windshield down, mine didn't come with one. I put an awl in mounting hole for the windshield to measure available depth, then got one that was just a bit shorter. That was a few months ago, so this has worked out well.

Did you mount the F4 windshield?

I installed the center brace, but did not pull the radio. Instead I used the 3M extra strength trim tape. The used plastic body panel connectors for the screw holes.

Well i have it on its way. I'm having some stereo work done next week so when they have it apart they can attach the post.

While this method is certainly quicker, and may be fine for a smaller F4, my +9 wiggles a fair amount at slightly greater than highway speeds with various cross breezes. I'd be reluctant to use tape and plastic body clips.

I thought of that too, but the backing plate provided does not provide any downward “pushing” support for the bracket. Testing above 80 I have no issues, but did have a plan to make the bottom wider and longer if needed. The bottom plate is removable with 2 screws.
