picked up a rock and it put a hole in the cooler

Ouch think Mar told me bout this. Sucks track pull drivers pull and drill out front cooler rivets repair rad reinstal. Expensive fix at the dealership I'm betting.

Does the cooler come with the front aluminum plate that wraps around the front of the tunnel? On the fiche it has the piece grayed out. I am hoping it comes with the cooler when ordering from brp.

i dont imagine its a fun job,

If your interested in protecting yourself from this kind of damage again i would highly suggest checking out a RPM Composites Skid Plate. Or even at the very least a plastic skidplate would have maybe saved you. but i have seen them tear open as well.

here is a picture of how it protects the cooler on mine
