New member & hummer owner!

[MrsH2]

I'm excited about finding this forum! I bought a black 06' SUT last week. I am having a hard time deciding if I should add chrome or black accessories? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Where's the bikini contest? Blonde, 5'5'' & 115 lbs. ....and looks pretty good in a bikini, but I rather keep the photos for the hummer! Anyways, I'm new to this forum I don't want to reveal everything all at once...

[Sewie]

Welcome! :D

I can't believe nobody's suggested this yet ---- BLACK CHROME!!! ;)

[Vettster]

Welcome,
Chrome or black, it looks fantastic!

[H2Blondie]

Welcome!:)

Start with a black wrap-around brush guard. You never know when you'll encounter a deer on the highway...it is getting to be that season.

[black20]

welcome, go black and have fun with your new hummer.

[31_bandits]

Black is low maintenance, more practical, for those that are secure in themselves. Chrome is more work, more look at me, for those that need some extra reassurance ;) :D :D

BTW Bring your new H2 out to Long Ranch on Sept 23 and break it in;

I must take exactly the opposite stance lest i let you down, phil.

Black is for people who are trying to avoid animosity from other drives or 'wheelers and hide from the bling-bling image. I mean, its stressful when jeepers are mean and all. So chrome = flaunting, yes, but black = hiding in the corner. ;) (that was a joke :) )


And in the end, blacking out a vehicle and chroming it up are peas in a pod. Modification of a vehicle to stand out or gain a look that suits whatever.


in all reality, i really don't give a rats what anybody elses truck is like, but i consider it my civic duty to counter manliness at all turns. this post was meant in good form, and not in ill.

Welcome!:D Don't post any pics until you see theirs first!:dancingbanana:

sweet welcome aboard :beerchug:

[31_bandits]

I think the H2 badge is still chrome, Alan.

nice lookin rig!

[MrsH2]

This helps thanks! I am going to order some wheels and tires this week and I need to make a decision on that. I pretty sure I want to go with 22's.

Oh GAG! :eek: :o :twak: :) btjmo :D :twak:

[H2bill]

Your decision is actually quite simple. If you want it to look like the hard core offroad tactical urban assault vehicle that it is, go black.

If you want it to look like pimp daddy's ride, go chrome.

Next question.

laboratory tests consistently fail to demonstrate that chrome causes loss of offroad ability. :p

[MrsH2]

Okay..maybe I might stick with 20's. I have one other question. What is the option on a leveling kit? My husband sells these and is itching to put one on, but I'm not sure.

[Fubar]

congrats and welcome:D

Leveling? Hummers weren't designed to be level, want proof take a trip to Moab you'll be hard pressed to find one sittlng level... LOL:D

[MrsH2]

okay....thanks... he did that to my tahoe and it was fine but I wasn't sure about a hummer.

[The Green Lantern]

Rims?.....these are cool!! :giggling:

[Sportsdude]

Welcome. Go for the bling bling stuff :beerchug:

[tomp]

35 counting rear gate badge, but those could could be stock lugnuts - so maybe back down to 3;)


Chrome badges, chrome lug nuts, that would be Chrome 34 ;)

Besides which, tire shine definitely counts as bling ;) :D :D

I hope we don't have to wait to long. Given those stats, you are going to be bugged until you do.

Better just get it over with.:dancingbanana:

[SnakeH2]

Ohh, and go BLACK!!!

[KenP]

Congrats on your new truck.:perfect10s:

Don't listen to all the blackers. Truthfully, the black trims are MUCH MORE maintenance than the chrome ones. Especially if you off-road, since mud tends to permanently etch itself into the black trim. So after washing you gotta scrub, then put the right trim dressing since Armorall actually makes it WORSE in the long run! Speaking of long-run, don't forget the terribly bleaching effect from the sun -- especially Texas sun! :eek:

With chrome, you just need to wipe dry with micro fiber cloth after a car wash, and 5 minutes later, good as new! Even my gauged-up (way beyond scratches) chrome rims look great when clean and shiny. Lastly, the glare off your chrome trims gives you all the excuse you need to buy an additional pair (or 10) Chanel sunglasses! :jump:

[Alan06SUT]

35 counting rear gate badge, but those could could be stock lugnuts - so maybe back down to 3;)

true. I'll put it this way: I own the lowest amount of stock bling possible, especially now that 07 will all have chrome handles. And, I have added nothing with bling or without a purpose other than aesthetic! And those are stock lug bolts. I do have the prius hybrid emblem on the back, but its purpose is to confuse (very effective) so therefore it is not bling.

:jump:

[H2Finally]

You miss all the point of "practical" H2F. You hose it down and don't worry about it. Really simple, no polishing, no getting upset over finger prints on the chrome, no blinded passengers, just plain old practical ;)Aah, I would attribute this to geography then, Phil. Living in a mega metropolis like LA -- instead of backwater itty bitty Texas village (regardless of how big a marble-lion-studded mansion you actually have) -- one could actually get a ticket for driving around in a mud-crusted vehicle. :OWNED::jump:

[31_bandits]

well, FWIW, its not necessary to fret about your chrome. my wheels aren't so hot anymore, but i'd still rather have something shiny than not.

go chrome, mrs. do now.

[h2co-pilot]

Ohh, and go BLACK!!!

X2!

Congrats on the SUT and welcome.:beerchug:

:jump:

Ooooo....I like the idea of the hybrid emblem. Where did you get that? I thought about putting a "John Kerry for President" sticker and a rainbow decal on to confuse the sheep also. I also thought about making a sticker that says "One less bicycle". :)

[Faysal_Dubai]

Welcome to the forums. Go chrome.

[H2Finally]

I'm glad to hear that crime is so well under control that you all vote for officials who use your tax dollars to ticket motorists who don't have enough chrome ;)Why u think I voted for em? :D

[mikejr]

welcome to the forum....go chrome...my father has the same SUT as you do. Once he rode in my H2, he bought his about 3 months later.

[MSeeb]

Depends on your personality. If you are creative and take pride in your accomplishments, no question go chrome, but tastefully. If you tend to take the easy way out of things or don't really care what the end result looks like, go black.
:giggling:

[Agriv8r]

look at it all, if YOU like it buy it. If YOU dont like it, skip it.
congrats on the new truck

I've Changed My Mind!..........Matter's Not!..If It's Black Or Bling!........AS LONG AS IT"S DIRTY!!!.....:jump:

........It hasn't spit enough rain or snow here, to Bother getting the Brush out! :mad:.......I'll have to scrub it soon enough! :(
