Like the title says, I just got my H3 because of the great $299 a month lease deal that HUMMER is offering right now! Right now, its nothing special, but I have already started planning to order some stuff to make it "mine". Its an 2006 black base model, so nothing special there I guess, but I still love it!
I do have a couple of questions for you guys if you don't mind:
-what is the best way to have my wheels painted? body shop? powdercoat (can't powdercoat the plastic centercap though because it would melt in the process)? do it myself wheel paint?
-what kind of tool do you use to adjust the torsion bars? I took a look under my truck last night when it was kind of dark, but my only guess was to crank the torsion bars with a wrench?
Thanks guys,
Bo

You can probably Powder coat the rims then Line-ex the Grill, like "Green Lantern" did.
You can use truck bed coating on the wheel center piece covers.

My wife and I have been looking to be the All-Chrome version of this bar for months, but haven't yet. They look convincing as you said, but who knows. We are going to buy one after the Christmas season is over with and we close on our house, maybe. Of course by then I'll be hard at work at my Hooter's Sport Bar in the basement!!

yeah, I never trust stuff like that, usually its crap...
speaking of ebay stuff though, does anybody know anything about Hunter brush guards? The ebay ad was pretty convincing of their quality, but hey, anything for a sale I guess...
what do you guys think: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HUMME...QQcmdZViewItem

NO NO NO NO do not do that. I did they only last one month before the chrome came off your better off getting factory chrome rims off ebay around $500.

Congrats on your H3!
There is actually a service on eBay that I see often, where if you send in your original H3 wheels, they will send you back a set of original wheels that have been chromed. The service is $600 I believe, but I have seen H3 wheels on that site for $600 OEM with chrome.

edit: how did you get the grill to be black, did you take it to a body shop? its tough to see from the picture, but is that front grill smooth like the rest of the body paint or rough?
