Do you want a pic of the actual cover installed or a pic of the instruction diagrams?

I'll try to get a pic posted tomorrow....I mean later today, it's tomorrow already and I need to sleep. It's a very nice cover. It's vinyl with a felt backing. It really helps warm up time and the engine runs hotter (not too hot). There are 4 triangular flaps in the center that form a square. You can fold each one back to adjust how much air gets through. I am running with 2 flaps open.

I tried to get one from the dealer but was told it was not available for '06's. MoparNut, do you have a part number for the cover?
Thanks!

Pictures

The cover has hooks that attach to the inside bottom lip of the bumper (there are 1/4" holes already there for it) and it also attaches to the bottom of a piece of sheet metal beside the frame (arrow in picture).

FWIW I just installed mine a couple days ago and it was a piece of cake. Took me about 10 minutes. The directions are aweful so don't be afraid to just lay it over things and figure out where things go by yourself.

With the hood closed 99% of people would never notice. I even have a hard time seeing it from a distance sometimes. It's a nice piece.....even my ultra picky Toyota lovin' buddy gave it the thumbs up...

I took the winter front off my 04 and put it right on the 06. I mounted it exactly the same as it was on the 04 with no issues at all.

Thumbs up Get one

Its probally one of the best made accessories that Mopar has put out in my opinion. Its my second winter with mine and it made a noticable difference. I would recommend it.

Part Numbers

82208721 winter kit - front cover, 2 heated battery blankets, heater cord.

82208646 front cover only.

You can check them out here.

www.wyckoffchryslerparts.com/diencowekit.html

As for the instructions, all they are is diagrams, no words. You know the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words"? Well these are not!
Do what LanceK said (and what I did) just lay it in place and you'll figure out the attachment points.
