Just got it a month ago. I paid $30,000 it only had 18,000 miles on it, I think I got a good deal. It came with the lights on top and in the grill and also a audiovox nav system that I'm going to pull it out and put the new kenwood DNX8120 when it comes out. I want to black it all out so far the only mod I did was the H2 badges on both sides of the door. How much is the front grill going to cost and where can I get it? It's chrome right now, as you can see.

You can find black grills on ebay for a few 100, sometimes cheaper. Or you could have your current one painted. Mirror upgrade is a must.

Just did the black grille this past weekend...bought it used off Ebay for $98 delivered (previously painted black, but I refinished it as you can see in the photos, cost about $15-20 in paint/supplies), see this thread

BTW, also got my wheels, side steps, 2006 touchscreen factory nav and 2007 mirrors on Ebay...pretty good source of parts if you are willing to search...

Replacement Grills are on EBay all the time or you could paint your own.

The roof lights from Recon will match the side marker lights you have.

And like others have said the mirror upgrade too. (me too I know)

Anyway have fun with it and welcome to the list also

I've yet to see mirror upgrades on sites like somo. You just get these from the dealer? Any idea price on that?

I hate my plastic mirrors ... (2003 H2)

I bought a new pair off Ebay for ~$425, discount retail is about $650 (like Alldiscountparts.com)

The fold mechanism craps out or needs to be rebuilt...do a search on the forum for the repair. The new style mirrors have much better water intrusion protection. My passenger one did not fold in so just bought a new pair and replaced both...
