[NEOCON1]

pretty bug eyed without the grill http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[NEOCON1]

i like this look

[NEOCON1]

now im jonsen for my black wheels http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Ipedog]

I like the look too. If you don't mind my asking, what did it cost?

[NEOCON1]

it was only $81.00 and that was with tax so am very happy its the most affordable mod i have found for a HUMMER http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

LOOKS GREAT! Can you post a pic from the front side view so I could view a contract between the fenderflare and the grille?
Thanks,
Tim.

[Ipedog]

Wow! With that price my white 100% bling free zone H3 may actually become 100% Bling Free!

The question is, as the vehicle is leased, would GM get their knickers in a twist? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

I hope not, as I can really see this happening! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Do you mind posting pics from other perspectives?

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!

[NEOCON1]

thanks guys will take more tomorrow and post . the line-x guy charged $1.00 per pump of the machine it took 76 . when i first spoke with him he thought 60 or so . he also sprayed the back and rapped all the edges around . removing the grill myself also saved some .

[DDWH]

That turned out great!

[TNTH3]

Like the look. Thinking about doing ours also and adding a chrome guard to the front. Any other prep to the grill prior to application?

[Lucifer]

Much better, chrome grills make too nice a reflector for laser guns

[hmrlvr]

WOW neocon that looks great. With the black wheels is gonna look real good. Can't wait to see it in person in Pismo. We do need more side pictures as Timgco asked.

[BABHUMV]

Cool Dude, I bet the D likes it too.

Happy New Year!

Where to next. ANything going on next weekend? I am going to Hollister on the 21st.

[HummBebe]

Try to make it on the 21st!

Did they charge an hourly labor charge?

[Sewie]

Looks great. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Now you just need Timgco's black skidplate. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Steve - SanJose]

Nice, almost military grade looking especially in green.

But I'll keep the bling on my H3 and probably add some more later.

S.

H3 white/ebony, lux pkg, chrome pkg, chrome side steps, chrome wheels, RW chrome locking gas cap cover, XM, auto, sunroof, hitchcam, mudflaps, etc.

[NEOCON1]

heres some side shots

[NEOCON1]

[Desert Dan]

That looks great!

NEOCON, up for a caravan? You can pick me up on the way. I am right off the freeway.

[BABHUMV]

NEOCON1, The grille looks awesome! Will your wheels be here in time for the 21st? We could get some nice shots in Hollister. Also, what about blacking out the emblems on the side?

- sounds like we're gonna have a lot of fun.

22nd?

http://www.norcalhummergroup.org/events.htm

[NEOCON1]

cool dudes we need to get everyone going up the 101 to hook up along the way . i'm just north of the 101 & 23 fwys babhumv is santa barbara . who all will be coming out of the greater LA area ? not sure if i will have wheels by then . i had heard 21st are we making a weekend of it 21st & 22nd ? HummBebe are we meeting sat morning at ranger station and anyone planning second day of wheeelin ?

[NEOCON1]

one thing i just noticed on norcal link , it says 22nd on first page but 21st inside calender section lets wheel both days http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[x-humm]

Hey Neocon1,

That looks bitch... I wonder if I can find a local place to get it done for me. Also i wouldn't mind if they do the skid plate also. Black paint alone won't do any good. It has to be something stronger. Also let me know about the 21st. I am all available and if anyone wants to caravan, I am comming from the 210 and 57 Fwys.Let me know.

That stuff will scrape off on the skidplate. It has been done already. If you scuff it up and paint it black, you can always touch it up down the road.

BTW- did you just call Neocon a bitch? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

hey BABHUMV not sure if wheels will be here , they said 2-3 weeks and that was last wed. i may just want to use stock wheels for clearance issues , just worried about tire contact with front fenders in gnarly situations http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif wont be an issue once i level or lift http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif thought about blacking the emblems but will probably leave that little bit of bling on . what time do we need to leave santa barbara to make hollister on time ? just need to let darla know how early she needs to get up http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif we need to leave here (conejo valley) about an hour before SB meet up . i will pm you our cell # for more planning . are you up for both days ? darla and i are making a weekend of this trip http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif.

i went to the line-x website and found the guy here in the conejo valley they should have one listed for your neck of the woods . skid plate would look cool but would get scratched off like timgco stated . after seeing his black one im thinking of painting the embossed h3 emblem green and rest of plate black might be cool http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif we could meet up here in the thousand oaks area and convoy up .

[x-humm]

Hey Neocon1,

No, I did not call a bitch. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif I said " It looks bitchin". Sorry for all the confusion. I know "Timgco" though the same thing. Meeting in Thousand Oaks is good location. How much driving from there to the park??

[BABHUMV]

I understood the bitchin' part.

According to mapping software, 259 miles from my house in Santa Barbara to Ranger Station. Over Christmas I traveled it in about 3.5 hours. 74mph average.

As for two days, not sure yet.

YES! This I want to see! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Thats what I am planning on doing. I think KenP said he put two layers of the hummer letters on under the line-x. I'll try to find the thread. Its got pics of the end result.

Thanks! no, they aren't painted, just a matte black plastic, maybe a hair shy of 1/8" thick. got them off ebay for $10. I used super glue gel to stick them on, I don't think they're going anywhere.

[shipbldr]

Nice!!!!

VERY nice NEO !!! I know what you mean about the smile on your face thing. 35's on a H3 were meant to be... My mileage dropped to around 15 mpg but its worth it. Again, great pick on brand. They should wheel ya around just about anywhere.

[DDWH]

Looks awesome NEO!!!

[westhillsat]

[westhillsat]

Bebe just had hers raised

[hmrlvr]

That may the cleanest I've ever seen your rig Neo. You didn't wash it did you? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[CampMaster]

Pretty sweet set up.

Did you get a custom Line-X color or is that standard?

[NEOCON1]

thanks guys sounds great http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

camp , yes this is the standard color black i havent seen any color besides it yet but have heard that you can get colored . its just melted plastic that they spray on , i think they said it comes out at 300 degrees F . it is some strong stuff and color is thru out the material .

[Bully13]

Neo, Just wondering how the 35 are doing... Your truck looks awesome!

Did they effect your gas mileage much?

Did you end up doing any work to accomidate the 35s?

Does this void the warranty?

How's your turning raidius? Still the same?

Just wondering. I would love to have 35s

[NEOCON1]

hey bully welcome aboard http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif i havent had any problems yet truck still sets totally stock and no trimming http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif gas milage does drop by about 20 percent on average . no problem with warranty , may go thru brakes a little faster than stock . turning radius maybe affected a little hardly noticeable . check out this thread http://elcova.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/2706067735/m/7371013461

also check out Ipe's thread about 35's he has bfg at ko's they seem to fit a little better

Bling on Hummers can be done in good taste, I'm living proof. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif But I might stretch the definition of good taste at some point.

I enjoy seeing all Hummers that are unique, not just box stock.

Yes but it's a clean pic on the driveway. Very OEM so far other than the RW gas cap cover and the Corsa exhaust.

Damn, I should have taken a picture up at Tahoe when my H3 was covered in mud. But then the chrome was mucked up. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[ketcat]

I just took these pic's and thought I'd post. Left rear inner fender well, you can see the plastic hanging where it's rubbed off..

[Steve - SanJose]

Ketcat,

How's the road noise with such an aggressive tread pattern?


Steve

[NEOCON1]

did the emblems

[Sewie]

Looks sweet Neo!! :cool:

[allan p]

your truck looks awesome, how much did the rims run you, i assume you had them powder coated...

a l l a n

[NEOCON1]

actually its just spray paint , less than 10 bucks . i used a scotch brite pad to scuff the factory clear coat and just sprayed away . this is the stuff http://www.imperialinc.com/items.asp?item=0850010 its an industrial enamel

i used the spray on bedliner stuff for my emblems . and had the grille done with Line-X , thats how i did away with my bling :D hope this helps

[NEOCON1]

Line-X on the hood plate :cool:

[StarsnBars]

Nice NEO. you have to be happy with the results on your hood piece. OK I got one more for ya,,, How bout X-Lining your roof rails and pillar rails. Humm,, I think it would really complete the look and look great. Just a idea bro... See ya...

[Anti-BlInG]

What about the fake air vents on the left and right side of the hood...i think those would look really good black..... HOABIE 4 LIFE!:D

[dеiтайожни]

Neato ! Looks nice.

[NEOCON1]

sprayed my skid plate with the spray on bed liner :D

[The Green Lantern]

:cool: that's much better! :D

[Sewie]

Hey Neo - your tie-rods are all shiny. :p :D

BTW, seeing your truck and TGL's parked next to each other looked awesome!! Like they were separated at birth. :D :D

[Ipedog]

sprayed my skid plate with the spray on bed liner :D

Neo - Looking Good! :D :cool:
How well did it hold up to the sand?

[NEOCON1]

Neo - Looking Good! :D :cool:
How well did it hold up to the sand?

hey Ipe , it held up great no problems :D

[fourfourto]

I was thinking of spraying the H3 on the plate black maybee I will use the bed liner spray next oil change.:D

[Ipedog]

hey Ipe , it held up great no problems :D

Cool! Seeing as mine is beat to crap that may happen soon! Its good to know that the truckbed coating holds up well to the high friction of the sand, but I doubt that it'll survive a rock assault. :rolleyes:

It rained here all weekend (and all last week, and last weekend, and...) so no wheel painting. Directions say to not paint when the humidity is high. Lately its been so humid that you can practically drink the air. Don't know when I'll ever be able to complete the HOAB Transition! :mad:

[HummerNewbie]

Directions say to not paint when the humidity is high.

Guess no wheel painting for me until at least Oct. :mad:

[allan p]

Guess no wheel painting for me until at least Oct. :mad:

lol, tell me about it... neo how many cans did you use up on all four/five tires? i'm going to use the wife's xterra as a guinea pig :cool:

Lets see the xterra test! ;)

Is that mean you're going to get a new license plate? :D

[Nav4-NEOCON1]

Nice practice vehicle and it turned out good. Post pics when you're done with the 3 for sure.

All you guys are welcome, and we should always have plenty of parking for all the trucks. :excited:

Miss you too Beebs! :crying:

[ROX]

Miss you too Beebs! :crying:Are you doing it? Are you really moving?! WAAAAAYYY COOOLLL!!!!:perfect10s:

[Nav4-NEOCON1]

Hey Rox! How are all you guys? How's my kids doing anyhow? I hope they're great. Is my girl in school this year Rox? Miss you woman! We were so stoked that you and your sis made it down to Moab, even for just a few days.
:beerchug:

Yep, we're moving, probably within the first few weeks of October. Can you freakin believe it? My last day at the office is the 29th and my bosses are freakin out that I'm leaving. Steve's quit date will probably be about the same. That'll give us time to finish things up here and load the truck. We're gonna need a really big truck! lol And my Vette is up for sale, so if it's doesn't sell by the time we leave, I can park it at my sisters house. It needs a dang smog pump and they are hard to come by so I'll probably just non op it for a while. Just try to sell it needing the pump if I can, I still have to call dmv and find out about that. I'll trust her with it, she's got a hot rod parked in her garage so at least she knows how to care for these cars.

What else you wanna know? You guys will have to come visit for sure Rox!

[ROX]

HI NAV! My son just started 1st grade, so the planning has to be a little more in advance for me. But now that you'll live so close to Idaho, I might just be able to sneak down for a short visit more often.:D :excited:
A smog pump for the vette? Is that a stock item or do you have to have it for some California law?
Good luck with the move. :)

[Nav4-NEOCON1]

You're right Rox, CA smog sucks big time. Right after I had it smogged last time, I was driving on the freeway doing about 85-90 and I heard something metal like hit something else, so I bailed off the freeway at the next exit. All I found under the hood was the belt, the pulley front part of the pump just sheered right off. Amazingly, it didn't hit anything else under the hood. So, now the sucky spot I'm in with this Vette and trying to figure out what to do, non op it, register it without the smog or what and then moving out of state to boot. lol Will phone dmv and find out what the best thing to do is. Oh well, luckily my sister likes cars, she's got a pretty cool hot rod of her own so I can park it at her house.

Wow, first grade, that's great! What about your girl, is she in school yet?

Yep, ID not that far, just give us a call when you want to come down and let us know.

Almost time to leave work, so I'm outta here for now. :)

[NEOCON1]

Is that mean you're going to get a new license plate? :D


i just renewed the hummer in cali . the plan is to get neocon1 plate in utah for my chevy truck then will switch it to the 3 in about nine months also have to non op my vette for a while till we get the garage built then will bring it to Moab . we will just take the H3 and the Z71 at first then after winter we will bring out the car

Boy those trucks look nice blacked out! Gee, we're going to have to get all these HOABies in Moab and have a lil get together. Wonder what people will think/say with all you guys in one place cruzin around all blacked out?

They were slightly surprised, but not super surprised cause they knew you were looking at the property. I was surprised you were going to be moving there so quickly :D I was expecting the move to be in about six months give or take. So cool that you can just pop out of town and be on a trail.:)

[Nav4-NEOCON1]

Hey West, Yep it will be cool being only a few minutes from all those cool trails. I can't wait to go explore the town more and get to know it. I was telling Steve that I don't want to get lost, he just laughed and he said it's not like so cal, it's a real small town and you can walk home from anyplace in town. He just laughed, it was pretty funny. Get lost, what a moron I am sometimes! :giggling:

[BigBill]

Very nice! I like the look and it makes me think on mine what I could do! All the colors shown - white, green, yellow - all look cool with the black trim on it. I wonder what a black front grille would look like on my slate blue metallic body!

What size tires do you have? Also, what did Line-X do?

Bill

[Orazids]

So this is an old topic and I was wondering about line-X something. You think you can Line-X a speaker box?? Just wondering if it would rattle or anything?? I just like the look. Send input please.

[Airman84]

wow, that looks amazing!! i would never have thought it would look good if i heard about it, but after seeing pictures i'm blown away! thinking about doing it on mine now... idk how good it would look on a white h3t though... great creativity bro!!!!
