Cool new bling?

[CzechMan]

Hey guys,
Just got pics of the Hummer H3 Bull Bar by Westin fro the tech contact there. Now what I need is the verdict......what do you think? Worth a try?

Looks good but you loose your front tow hooks.

[CzechMan]

I think so. I like the tow hooks, but I do like the look of this....if it is easily swapable....it might be worth a try.....

[Sewie]

I've seen those on other trucks and I usually think they look pretty good. But it just looks a little off on the H3.

Plus you lose the tow hooks and some approach angle.

[CzechMan]

Agreed, approach angle is a consideration. To be honest, I would love to take my H3 off road more than just on my land, but seems like Wisconsin has zero to no trails.....so I might end up being OK with the approach angle....But you never know....either way the guard should be easily removable.

I'm one of the few on the forum that actually admits to liking some bling, but I don't think this bull bar thing looks very good. Probably better ways to spend the bling money.

But to each his own.

Now that I look at it. I might try to photoshop in piaa lights.....that might look pretty cool......

[DDWH]

GHEY!

[CzechMan]

Thanks DDWH......very constructive opinion....I take that as AGAINST :-)


And speaking of "ghey!" What up with that mustach in a hat? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[DDWH]

That was my simple abreviated opinion. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I think it looks cheap and is non-functional. You loose the front tow hooks which is not a good thing. I have seen those on a few vehicles in the past and just don't find them to be appealing. Customization is a personal thing, if you like it then do it.

Ever play monopoly? Then you will recognize the hat n mustache....

Damn....I am an import, but I have lived here long enough I should have recognized it. OK, joke's on me.

I know I want a brush guard / bull bar on the front of my rig, I just don't know which one. There is tons out there.....

I like somewhat unique look of a vehicle.....my last car was Isuzu Axiom.....by the way......awesome vehicle!!!

Since I am not sure what to get yet, I wanted to get some input....especially since Westin has not had pics until now.....so it should be pretty new to most people

I do think it looks much better than that fugly Manik nudge bar or what the hell do they call it.......

[CzechMan]

HummBebe.....nice touch. I like a girl that know what she wants http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

No need. Still doesn't look good. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[HummerB]

dude if you like that is all that matters. what do you care if everyone here likes it, becuase in short, not everyone is going agree on one thing. Do what appeals to you.

Just my .02

[CzechMan]

Thanks HummerB! Very good point. Thing is I myself don't know which one I want...so that's why the public flaming here :-)

[Steve - SanJose]

It's all fun, accessorizing the H3's. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Some write about being anti-bling. Then they obsess over putting decorative Christmas tree lights (marker lights) on the roof, followed up with complaints about the wind noise at freeway speeds. But I thought they only used their H3 offroad. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Gotta love it.

If I can ever wear out my Goodyear Wranglers that came with the rig, I will probably be wasting money on some 20" wheels and Nitto A/T tires, so I'm one to talk...

Not sure, but it may be cumbersome if you like to change your own oil.

[NJH3]

Lets see, you lose both factory tow hooks, decrease your approach angle, do not add any significant protection to the front end and all you have to show for it is a shiny thing bolted to the front of an off road vehical that decreases it's cabailities.

In short -it's freakin' useless. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[CzechMan]

Agreed...it does not have much purpose besides the bling factor.....but anything you put on the trun besides a winch is pretty much just as useless :-)

HummerB has a good point. Ultimately its your opinion that matter most.

However, since you're asking for opinions here... You can add me to the against count. FUGLY

I like it but I dont want to lose the tow hooks

"Ride hard or die trying"

[H3HUMVEE]

I had one of those on my ZR2 GMC... IMO it's a POS

[nmikes]

as time goes by, you might start considering putting a winch up there. I don't see that happening around that. Ultimately as a functionality thing, not only is it worthless, but you lose your tow hooks, decreased angle of attack on the front, and any thoughts about a winch. Does though have a beefy appearance for the mall parking lot. Be careful if you do offroad with it, you'll mangle whatever that thing is bolted to if its not the frame.

[westhillsat]

Don't really like it, looks like its frowning.

plus no tow hooks, get a good brush guard. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
