If you look at your heat exchanger, there are upside down t-rails running down them. The tunnel protectors are installed onto those rails. They look and go on like a hifax, but thicker. You remove your rear tail flap, and there are windows to install them. They come in a kit 2 protectors, 2 covers for the windows on the tunnel, and rivets for covers and rear tail flap. There is some what of a front cooler. It's more like a tube and plate. Look up you sled on here http://parts.polarisind.com/Browse/Browse.asp so you can understand what I'm talking about with the front cooler. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
