The before and after make up!
First time here posting, hope you all like it!!
Before
Plain truck with Aries side steps and GM chrome grill and chrome gas tank cap.
March152011040.jpg?t=1300259194
After

Also a question here to ask! My is 2010 model H3 base, I have compared it to friend's of 06,08. Is the 10's change the air intake to cold air intake? because look at the right bottom end of my bumper, you can't see through like earlier year models. And the pipe directs most of the air right into the intake(there is small openning on the edge of the pipe). This has cuased a problem with my friend's 2010 H3 Alpha with adventure package, same intake design.. The water just went right into the air intake which caused the hydro lock..
Anyway to change it?
Thank you!!

Oh no you've fallen into the same trap as me. I have a 72 sunroof deluxe bus in my garage that feels very neglected since I got my H3 
Good looking truck though. Not sure what you are refering to wiht your bumper, it looks normal in the pic.

I like everything about that truck except the nerf bar step things.
The air intakes for 2008 through 10 are all identical (all the Alphas are the same and all the I5s are the same for those years), so I got no idea what you are talking about in that department? This is where the 2008 inlet gets its air, through the inner fender (just like the 06/07 which use different intake components but draw from the same source).
There was a design change (actually 2) of the fender liner in 2009, most 10s have the 2nd, but that has nothing to do with the intake path itself. Trucks aren't boats, if you go into water too deep, you will have problems regardless of the fender liner design.
