A shutter kit comprising frame components, louvers, inserts, louver clips and tilt bars are combined as a ready to assemble shutter. The frame components are configured to assemble into a shutter frame. The louvers are adapted to fit within the shutter frame. The inserts are adapted to attach to stiles of the frame components. The louver clips are capable of rotatably attaching at regular intervals along the length of the inserts and removably retaining the louvers. The tilt bars are adapted to rotatably interconnect the louver clips. In one embodiment, the inserts, louver clips and tilt bars are preassembled into trees adapted to insert into an assembled shutter frame.
