Okay, this may generate some die-hard Hummer fan negatives, but I really hate being just another Hummer on the road.

First mod was added vertical on vent holes and lower grill, but not unique enough.
Went with painted grille and E&G classic grille this weekend. Already generating more rubber necking I thought possible.

+/- H3 owner comments welcomed

I like it. I have wondered what those grilles would look like on my X.

Not really something I would want, but it looks unique for sure. And an excellent job! Congrats!

Worknit,
Clean install but I like the bold stock Hummer brand. Yours now looks a bit trailbrazer or other Sport Utes.

I went with clear turn signals, chome hitched, Chrome hood handles, chrome lower grill with off road lamps and chrome hood vents.

Thanks all for comments thus far, the mixed bag of +/- about what I expected.

Odeh,

Front parking lights are from IPCW:
Platinum Smoke
LPS122S 9 LEDC-346S)

Rear Tail Lights are from IPCW, which look awesome against the black paint job.

Purchased both sets from matrixracing.com and they were great to work with. The IPCW front not shown on their site, but they also have the IPCW brand for parking lights.

Personally I would never take mine off road, unless there was a real need. H3 capabilities are a great asset to have when required to call upon them.
IMHO: They be made for off-roading, but that kind of hard riding comes at a price structurally to screws, rivets, mechanical and electrical connections, etc, taking months/years away in wear and tear.
