If you can swing it, I'd get the front brush guard. It has saved me quite a few times in tight spots (trees). The front end just seems a little exposed with the plastic leading the way.

 

I also bought a new 2007 SP 500 EFI about a month ago. At the same time I bought the Front Brushguard, Rear Bumper, and Polaris Glacier II Plow. Since then I bought a Polaris Cover (on Ebay). So far I'm pleased with everything. I guess 6 hrs isn't enough to tell a lot though. Seems to have plenty of power. My buddy bought a Honda Rancher 400 AT and the Polaris is quite a bit larger and heavier. The plow hookup is much easier on the Polaris.

 

So far so good guys. I like the power and smooth ride. Looking at purchasing a front and rear bumper for it so it saves the plastic a bit more. Any suggestions on bumpers and where to get them for cheap?

 

I have always bought from the polaris websight. The bumper and brushguard are very easy to install

 

I see that Breese Lawn Garden (an Ebay store) has a package deal on Front BG and rear bumper on their site. Supposed to be genuine Polaris. I bought these from Polaris dealer as he gave 15% discount if bought with atv. Not hard to install yourself.
