you could start by getting it off your neighbor's lawn . . .the rest depends on how you want to use it, that $5k could go quickly

Sisco..I'll post here all my pictures of what I did to mine..the rest of the guys and gals here are probably sick of seeing them...

Note the; Stainless tow hooks, Stainles bezels on fog lights, Mud flaps, Stainless grill insert, Stainless HUMMER letters, Chrome Hood handles, Stainless antenna mount, Stainless body strip on doors

Cat back dual exhaust, K&N cold air intake

And these Chrome Wheel center caps I just did last night

All this is still well under $5000

Yeah, i plan on doing something like that. Just trying to figure out if i wanna lift it up a little or what. I'm gonna chrome it out some. I am still looking at the exhaust. As far as engine goes, im gonna do the same as you did. Tint the windows as well. Trying to decide between a brush guard or the bull guard.

if you go with the new intake, it's imperative that you keep the engine as clean as Dennis does. that is just a pretty picture

You could start by painting it boulder gray. Just kidding, it looks great in white.

And One other item..They'll soon be out for the H3, and that's an engine programmer/power tuner module...

A Super charger would be the ultimate hype..But for $5000? I can't justify that.

Dennis I have 2 questions. Do the chrome handles shine a lot of sun in your eyes while driving, and are they hard to install? I have been debating putting them on and would like your opinion.
Thanx DAVID

Hey Bro..

No..I can honestly say I almost never even see a glint of the sun..They are low enough that the reflection goes over the top... but they are easy..The kit explains every thing.

1st. Romove Plastic Hood Piece
Open the hood and tap the three clips loose located at the rear of the part. Close the hood and pull the part loose. The instructions tell you to use a tool that won't scratch the paint to pry the clips loose. I assert that there is no such tool in existence and simply worked my way around with my fingers and popped each clip loose.

2nd. The Hole Template
The over priced kit comes with a hole template that you can just tape in place. You may need to clean the plastic to get the tape to stick.

3rd. Drilling The Holes
The instruction called for a much larger drill bit, but I used a 1/4 so the fit would be tighter. Of course this means that you need to drill the holes dead center of the template

4th. Attaching The Handle
Here is what the under side looks like after installing the hex head screws.

5th. Complete The Project
After attaching both handles just gently tap the unit back onto the hood. You are now ready to gaze at the Bit of Bling
