I wanted to replace my snowflap and decided on a blue one. It turns out that the 12.5" have been discontinued so I bought a new 16" one off of ebay. If you take your rear bumper cover and bumper off. The holes exist to use the 16" flap. It mounts high enough to give the same drop length as the stock 12.5". The problem is that the two middle holes are covered by the rear heat exchanger. There are two other holes about 1-1/2" in from the outer mounts that are useable. Just drill out new holes in your flap. The pop rivets are hidden by the bumper cover anyway so noone will ever know. It covers the aluminum previously exposed below the seat and looks completely stock.
 
Here's some pics. Bottom of flap is same height as original one.

The longer snow flap mounted high on the aluminum plate looks terrific. I think it looks much better than the stock 12" long snow flap. The long flap allows the back of the sled to be completely blue. Looks great!! Nice work!!
