Looks like all the **** ass Hummers in the toy aisles. They are so damn ridiculous it's not even funny. "Dropstars" I think is the line.

I think they look like ass.

[Induction Concepts]

Yea, I think that is actually a toy. My son has a Range Rover that looks like that.

I do like some lowered vehicles, but everything has to be in proportion. Wheels can actually be too big. I've seen some cars with like 26's on them, they look like a 4WD, they are so high in the air in order to run wheels that big, it looks retarded. Now trucks can run wheels a little larger simply because they have larger wheel wells and openings. But still, everything in proportion.

For one thing, you could only park like that. When a vehicle is lowered to a certain level, where the wheels are up inside the front fenders, you can't turn without ripping the front fenders up...along with your tires and wheels.

I can promise you that is NOT real. However, they could do it.

Rick and that gang do great work. I'm stopping by there the end of Oct to have some work done on my rig. They're top notch across the board.

[f5fstop]

Why do they move the fuel fill from the driver's side to the passenger's side, or did they just add a second fuel fill? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Toys? Performance mods? What kind of work are you having done? I get the feeling that Rick really has it together over there, I just cringed when I saw that picture.

[VTSTOMPER]

Layout of the page looks good to me! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I assume that is what you wanted us to look at right? As far as the whole lowering of the H3 pic, it looks pretty good. I honestly think it looks good. I think it is a waste of a 4X4, but who care...not who would ever do that.

I myself roll with the 4X4...yeah in VT if we did that it would only make it though May-Oct! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I hope I never see anything like that on the street.

[kacyk]

Not my taste.

even if that is real... can you imagine the turning radius of that rig. what a waste of a 4X4

just my 2 cents

Hi Guys
The Pic of the H3 is just a concept. It is not a real one. It was to show what it could look like. We do that allot on body mods etc. so the person can get an idea of what they want. This way We can set there and make changes with them describing what they think they are looking for. Doing it saves allot of problems and You would be amazed how comfortable it makes the customer feel and instills confidence in them for Our work. They have an idea how it will turn out along with having input. When We started building the website that Pic was setting there and We stuck it on. My H2 is on the left but, has changed some since then. Not sure how the website will turn out but, most likely the way You see it with a few adjustments.

We will begin negotiating with Jermaine Taylor to customize His H2 that the dealer gives Him new ever year. He will have 2006 this month or next. He trains in Miami and We have to have it decided on before He leaves the 1st of Oct. to go back to Miami to train for the 12/3 fight with Hopkins. If done He will carry Our HC.com brand on it while He is in Miami half of each year and hope for more sports stars through Jermaine.

We get Our first H3 to customize in a month or so, when the guy gets it in. Yes You can lower an H3 that much and It would be bagged so that in driving You have no problems. It would be a frame drop like Colorado. You see the H3 on the site as it would look setting on it's frame parked. We bagged one of the first Colorado's and designed bag system and built it from scratch because no one makes a bag kit for Colorado. We can put together a kit for someone using the tested items We picked and let someone else install or bring it to Us and We will install, which is really what i would recommend since We are familiar with it. We have figured out all the little tricks. The same design will work on a H3 with a few more adjustments.
Killian I have not forgotten the turbo for Your H3. We are going to run it on the Colorado first for a little while to make sure bugs are out and apply for a patent to cover some legal things. It has turned out to be a bigger job than first thought. Once We are sure everything is Ok I will get with you. I bet You thought I had forgotten. Feel free to check in with me later if You like.

Bagging not recommended at all for off roading H3 and if someone wanted it and let me know they off road i would send them somewhere else. They would be very unhappy and I would not want it focused at Our shop. I know most are not in to bling but, that is where the money is. Honestly I am just adjusting to looking at H3 myself but, You have to keep in mind the true off roaders are far and few between. Most use the H3 or H2 as grocery getters and so they want it to look more blingy. If We tried to survive on the off road stuff Hummers or trucks etc. where We are, We would starve to death. Look at most Hummer websites and You see mostly bling for sale. So We have to cater to what sells most, especially as a new start up company. Everyone has there own tastes and they are the one who pays the bill. Even the stuff We do that i dislike but, it is there money and there rig. We do it with 110% effort even if it is not Our cup of tea. We want them happy and sending someone else. I like both bling and off road. I will build Myself an off roader next spring if not sooner as I will have to cut done driving the Mall Queen accept on the best days of weather and not even on gravel with everything chromed and painted underside. I'm thinking about an SUT on the next go around so i can put a goosekneck ball in it to pull a trailer with the small show cars We have and let Dragon pull the Mall Queen. He has a Duramax Chevy with 400HP at the wheels and 800 ft. lbs. of torque so he gets to pull the heavy monster.

We have two shops in one. We do tuners, motorcycles, golf carts, and anything anyone can think of as well as Hummers. You can go to Motorsportsauthority.com to see the tuner site. We have over 6000 items and rebuilding it as We cannot get them all on the site as it is now. We polish motorcycle frames to the point it looks chromed. My head mechanic has a motorcylce that has 210HP at the wheels. We will nitrous a bike if You want it. These guys are professionals We will attempt almost anything. We get some guys who ask Us to just try and We do that if the customer is understanding that it is most likely a one off and We have to figure it out. Plus they understand they are going the high dollar route. We do lifts and bags to lower and allot more bags than lifts and I mean a whole lot more bags. You can PM Dragon if You have tuner questions etc. He is a trained and certified audio/video specialist at one of the best schools in the US over in Oklahoma. He can lay carbon fiber by hand on mods. It is similar to fiberglass but, on small items We pull a vacuum sometimes to get a tighter fit. If He doesn't know then He will get one of the guys who does.

We are coming up with things for Hummers that are not out so that We will be able to offer it to those with the need. We hope to have a samll line of 4 to 5 items to take to SEMA next year. On My rig We made the billet hood vent a functional reverse cowl system to get some of the radiator heat out of the engine bay. Our head guy built a complete mirrored stainless panel that covers the inside of the hood along with side panels to complete the look. He added a scoop on the inside that will with some more adjustment set between the radiator and the supercharger pulley to pull hot air out before it gets blown onto the engine. We are running 12 lbs. of boost with water/meth injection, CO2 spray onto the aftercooler, and an old fashion billet ice bucket. My rig runs better than it looks, if You like bling. Guys We are ligit and Dragon has a photo bucket that if You PM him He will send You a link and You can see what We have done. The link may be on the MSA.com site. The Colorado has already had a photo in Mini Trucks or it may have been Trucks, Dragon has the issue and can tell You where to look. It is getting a 2 page center section soon. Anyway We have more requests for it but, He has changed the look of it as We found out there are 3 others that used the color He had. It is completely different now. We are adding a dyno later in the winter or spring that will be all wheel drive and wide enough and long enough adjustable wise to handle H2 and duallies. In Our part of the world dyno's are few and far between. There is one and it is small. H2 will not even begin to fit on it even with stock tires. So We plan on doing it right so We can use the adjustable dyno to fit everyone. We are getting equip. in so that We can balance and level the adjustable suspension for the SCCA road racing guys. Again in Our part of the world no one does it and We have a Nissan 240zx that We road race, all black for Your certain guys and gals who love the black. We will be able to take equip. to road races and a guy that will be coming to work as the engine tuner will handle this stuff also. He is already skilled at it and most all the road racing needs. We just had Sikkens paint come to us because of the Pics and personal regional rep. coming by and asked Us to start using Sikkens in place of who We were using and they would replace eveything We had computer paint mixer, etc. and even any empty paint cans We had in the shop for free. We are glad We did. The painter said they have the best clear coat He has seen. One coat of their clear would equal 3 of the factory He told me. We are shooting 3 coats on My girl after We paint the ghost flames on. Sikkens said it would make it look like You could put your arm up to Your elbow into the paint. I have $30,000 to $40,000 dollars of sponsored equip. going on My H2 that began to happen when I won the state Hummer ***le. I have a full billet sponsor, tuning sponsor, audio/video sponsor and just many more even down to the guages used for boost and air/fuel ratio. I'm happy to look at taking more sponsors if you like to look into it. I'm happy to look at carrying Your product if You would like to get with me. We are not trying to get into web sells. But We want to be a dealer for the things We are going to use in custom work so We can have confidence in it. Some of the customers come from way off and We plan on having a site they can go to get a replacement part We used in their customizing job. We are designing a rear sub kit that will replace the 2 wheel well covers in the rear of H2's as a straight bolt on replacement and then you send Yours back as cores. We are setting up to have like mine 4 12" subs 2 on each side. We can do one on each side if you prefer. Mine has one on each side facing down and one on each side with speaker out for effect. We are building the overhead amp rack to have 2 amps one for each side with a 12" flipdown monitor for the rear seat riders to watch. We are trying to get it so that you have the overhead and the 2 side items with everything installed already if you want or just get them with out to put in what you want but, it will be finished in paint of Your choice or other textures. They are and will allways be hand made only. John at HGW does not need anyones's help but, He has asked us to do a special item for Him on His show rig and pace rig to see what We can do with an idea He had. It is in the work and when Dragon get's back We have to get with John and see what He thinks of the option We have come up with for Him. A one of item.

Great job to those who figured out the H3 was not real. But, it is a fact We can do it. The Colorado was a huge challenge and a long story but, engine bay had to be flipped to get room to build front wheel wells for the big tires and rims on it. It had 1500 miles on it when We started. Owner has been offered $35,000 for it. Items on the right got moved to the left and left items got moved to the right. When someone looks under hood that knows wherew things were originally it freaks them out. The bed does not have cut up boxed out sheet metal wheel wells like most do or make some kind of wheel well. We cut bed loose from the sides and raised it up and rewelded it so that factory bed and wheel wells were retained. Bed is only about 12" deep but looks great. The truck looks like it has a wide body kit on it but, it does not. We heated and stretched the steel in the front and rear fenders till they would accept huge tires.

Well congrats to those with a sharp eye.
Let Me know if You have questions or PM Dragon for info or link to photo bucket. I go to the shop once or twice a week for a few hours usually half a day, it is hard to leave when I get there it is so much fun. Dragon takes care of most everything. I have 3 other companies to run and good dependable young family men to run them so I just float around. Not to horn in on Alec but, I deal in the mortgage business world. My Buddy and I worked with companies to raise well, once part of 6 billion to build a resort in Jamaica.

I do direct the Hummer stuff but, Dragon is catching on real fast to that end.
Thanks guys for checking site. Hoping to have it up soon. But, for now it is there for insterested folks to get a phone number and address for custom work. Like i mentioned not worrying about net sells. But do plan to have each and every Hummer We customize on the site.

Taz,
Thanks for the fantastic amount of information in that incredible post!

I realize that you offer customization that is far superior to what most other shops turn out and just for the record I wanted to say I wasn't bagging on you or your guys when I posted the link with the lowered H3. Personally it's not my taste (I think it's grim!) but hey, someone out there is gonna love it.

That being said it's truly mind blowing what you're able to accomplish with some of these vehicles!

Keep up the good work.

[HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ]

Killian not a problem. I did not take offense to anything anybody said. Everyone is in***led to their opinion. Myself I hate it also. But, You would be surprised how few people want their offroad rig to be functional in that area. Bling is where it is at to make money. But, We have the ability to do a very good offroad rig. That is why I will build a lifted rig next I hope and have it on the site. We can do most anything now since I have worked into a dealer type setup with some of Our buddies here on the forum as well as others. I'm going to do a full Road Armour fit to it and the guys are going to do a water camo for the kicks. It will be different and when I use it to pull the little turner cars to a show I can unhook and enter it in the daily driver class. It will be tricked out but, with the paint scheme it will be easy to repair scratchs from offroading. I hope to get into offroading and go to the offroad park in Hot Springs, AR. Nice thing is I can learn so much from the guys on this forum on what is the best way. I'm thinking about the training from Hummer.
Dragons Truck is lifted with huge wheels and would offroad at the drop of the hat. He has the Edge tuning where He can change it on the go.

Dude What took longer the Mods to the H3 or typing your post http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Bling's not my thing but Its impressive.

[MyxH3]

Wow way to disrespect an offroad vehicle. If someone did that to an H3 they probably would be shot... most likely in a drive by.

[h3\'er]

Next thing you will see is those obnoxious Spinner rims. I get a good laugh everything time i see a set of those on a POS car worth about $500. It's like dude your rims are worth more than your car!

Did half of you not get the fact that the thing is just a drawing??

Ric is a member of this community in good standing so I suggest refraining from insulting his site or his business which does some of the best work around!!

[jp's-h3]

Well I knew it would'nt take long for someone to take an awsome 4x4 like the H3 and completely ruin it. UGLY!

[tacocat]

Church, I don't think anyone is bagging on him. They are just saying that the vehicle looks ugly.

It kinda looks like a turtle that retracted it's legs.

Why bother, and did anyone actualy read all of Hummercustoms > whole first response http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif
It would be the most ridiculous thing to do to your new H3, lower it so that it could barely drive down a New York City street without bottoming out. But the Gangster Rappers will love it.

[HummerJim]

I can't stand the lowered look either. Front wheel clearance for turning would be minimal, BUT take a stock H3, add a little BLING and drop in a small block chevy and look out!

[RMST]

they should be put out of business

[HummerNewbie]

I don't like it either but to each his own. If that is what somebody wants to do with their H3 then they can. I just personally won't like it.
