Default Aussie H3 Project

Bought the H3 Brand new back in 2007, silver, black leather trim and sunroof.

It's the I5 as the V8 is not available here

Anyway pretty much started modding it the same week I picked it up from the dealer, only minor stuff.

As bought:

The first mods were custom number plates, fully operational dual 3" exhaust tips, stainless steel tail light grills and chrome wheels and a chrome mini grill.

There does not seem to be a lot of interest in this thread, but I will keep adding to it anyway.

And for some reason we had a factory recall where Hummer replaced the black factory grill with a chrome one Was not allowed to keep the black one as it was recalled

I fitted some chrome handles to it bought on eBay don't worry about all the splattered bugs all over it:

Looks good. Get you a set of H3 wheels for the trailer to finish it off. Nice pics.
