Maybe you could go with an ice blue color to match the blue inside the PIAA lights. They have all sorts of colors. And there is a link to the color tabs on one of the links above. Shale Blue Metallic. That might look cool peeking out behind the lights.

Good Job!
The white is nice and makes it look kind of stealthy. The blue is nice and matches the lights, but I like white better. And Black always works in a pinch. Kind of like clothes. Red was out, for me. If you did use the white, the instructions for the letters say there will be a small amount of the original color left around the edges, so the white letters would look framed. Definitely domed letters, too. ![]() |

Thanks, I was thinking white or black too. How come you think I should get domed? </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Domed will throw off a little shadow and make the white stand out more. (My opinion). But with your rig, a white grill and some chrome letters might look good too. Keep the theme so to speak. ![]() |
There's only one way to find out.
![]() Have you read the info on HummercustomsTAZ? His whole undercarriage is chrome. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

There are about 6 bolts that hold the skid plate on. It's not hard to remove. Then you can polish it or have it painted. ![]() I got my letters yesterday. I'm surprised that they're just a little sticker thing, they arent metal or plastic. I hope they work. I'll post a pic after I get them on. |
R u gonna chrome the winch too!
![]() Waayy too much Bling |
Let me know when you chrome the winch.
I'm doing mine too. I just got in a Milemarker 12,000 hydraulic. It'll probably start disassembly tonight. It's going to take a lot of work to polish off all of that nasty powdercoat. Then I'll mirror shine it. Finally will come plating. My H2 is white with all chrome also. I am thinking of doing my winch on gold instead of chrome to help it stand out more. Of course there's also the burning issue of whether or not to chrome the winch mount also... Ahh... the challenges we face daily.... |

What about painting the winch white (body color) and then chroming the cradle? I haven't quite reached the Bling Plateau that you guys have, but I really like seeing the different things you've done. Great ideas! I LOVE THIS THREAD! ![]() |

Okay, here's an update.
I ordered the grill letters from the link and put them on. Here's a pic. They are not replacement grill letters, they are only stick on letter covers done on Avery paper. They look okay, but I'm sure I'm going to scratch them off in the brush. Needless to say I'll be searching for new ones before long. They are easy to put on, but they're very thin. Don't rip one. |
Rox, they look great!

Thanks folks!
Okay LoLo, here's the link. http://www.autotrimdesign.net/catego...?category=9272 They shipped them through the USPS. What color would you get? I don't think I've seen a pic of your new rig either. |
Here's another update.
I have had the grille letters on for about 4 weeks and lost one after hitting it with a pressure washer while trying to get the bugs off. ![]() ![]() Just thought I'd let you folks know in case you were going to try it. I'll keep searching for replacements. |
Thanks!
I'm missing the M, now it spells HUMER. ![]() |
I saw the Raised rear letters in Yellow today on a Yellow 04 today at the dealership and it looked great. How well do these seem to hold up though?

Here's a pic of how it looks with one letter missing. There's got to be a better way.....
