SICK of my bling!!
 

Yes, I have had the H2 for a mere...4 months now and I have spent a fair amount on customizing this rig to what I thought I would come to like. However, either due to my ever changing age, or the fact that the "bling" as most call it, takes away from the true Hummer meaning, I have resorted to re-vamping my idea of a perfect Hummer. So, in an effort to change my way of thinking (and probably piss the wife off), I will try and swap out my chrome goodies for something....ummm...less shiny. And will take the damn thing off-roading (no, I don't mean the dirt pad next to the mall either:D ) Just wanted to vent...thanks....Jamie:beerchug:

:clapping: Good move.

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

Are you feeling ok, Jamie?? This doesn't sound like you at all! Maybe you should sit down, take your temperature and blood pressure and make sure all is ok before moving on with these plans. :confused: :D

Re: SICK of my bling!!

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

Peer pressure and the dark side are taking over!!! :giggling:
It's a good thing!! :clapping:

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

~~~ BLING FREE ~~~

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

I think you forgot to take your meds today!!!!:jump:


EVeryone has the non-bling rigs now. It's almost a given that non-bling looks more off road worthy. I think you shoudl keep your bling! Turn that truck into off road bling. I think you sould post a current pic of your truck. Than I can give more feedback.

...a little OFF ROAD BLING.

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

Going to sell the wheels, keep the tires, sell the chrome brush or trade for a MINT black one, and maybe either take the step tubes off, or trade the chrome for the black ones.:D

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

Non Bling is the new Bling. :jump:

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

Good boy! :beerchug:
Definitely takes away from the true meaning/purpose of the hummer.
I never understood larger wheels with low profile tires on trucks and SUVs. Especially a Hummer!!!!! Looks funny. (Not saying you have that) :)

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

:iagree: Bring that baby back to it's roots!

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

A little bling goes a long way. Too much bling goes nowhere. :beerchug:

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

Don't like no stinkin' bling
Door handles...hmmm... sand blast or did they come in black?

I decromed mine in the first 36 hours. Will get rid of the shiney gas cap next then sandblast the wheels and make them schwartz!

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

BOO! Only 3 months and you finally gave into the forum?! :twak:

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

No problem homie, foe sho!:beerchug:

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

Yes... tone the bling down a bit!

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

Holy CRAP!:D

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

:eek: Yikes!!!! That's just wrong! :crying:

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

oh my you bring tears to my eye, such a realization so fast, its sooo touching. good move!!!!!

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

Yep. When I bought my '06 with the lux package, I had 'em switch all the chrome back to black on the exterior. After all, it is a Hummer.

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

I tip my hat to you sir. :beerchug:

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

Pacific blue alone is bling enough! :giggling:

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

i think i just got blingblindness from that thing.....

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

my comment about blingblindness applied to that custom rig that algy posted a photo of at a car show...just wanted to clarify that...i saw my post fall under the member with the pac. blue LE and didnt want them thinking i was referring to theirs....

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

I know that my H2 is just a pavement princess, but if the vehicle looks good straight from the factory, no bling is necessary.

:iagree:

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

Tim is right and offroad bling is what you want to call the shiz-nit. Your setup is nice as it is, but the desicion to wheel will be a blast. I went through the phase of wanting to black out my rig(which is a form of bling btw) but decided to keep the bling but black out my front end. Was enough and now i have off road bling!

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

This is my plan so far...tell me what you think:
1. 20" Rockstars in black (KMC)
2. Black 2 tiered brush guard
3. Black rear tail light guards
4. (Possibly) black tube step assist
5. Later on.....Gobi roof rack:)

Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks....Jamie

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

BLING BAD, finally u see the light off road bling is the way to go.

Re: SICK of my bling!!

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

I think that would look sweet...The 2 tiered brush guard looks good but the SMA one is something to give some though over as well. I actually thought about switching to 20 or 22in black rockstars when i was thinkign of ditching the chrome but if you plan on wheeling i think the rockstars are made to where they are verry succeptable to carnage. Would look nice...you could also have your current rims pc'd if your stuck on black.

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

Why would you say that, are they not tough? Also, wouldn't powder coating cost alot and also be quite troublesome with them already being chrome? I'm just thinking that they are already broken down enough with the chroming process, would stripping them again to powdercoat now futher reduce their strength? Just curious. Thanks though, I will also check out the SMA brush guard you were speaking of. Thanks bro....Jamie:beerchug:

Re: SICK of my bling!!
 

I just don't get this whole Bling thing. Makes no sense to me. The Hummer product is targeted to off road, and is in fact one of the worlds most capable of off road vehicles.
I don't see any chrome on combat vehicles, of which Hummers make up a large percentage. I also don't see chrome on tree trunks or on rocks (at least not naturally occuring), so how did this start?
Do you really need a hummer to stand out in traffic, hmmm... don't think so, it's quite a statement as is. For my part it's function first and a clean apperanace is good enough. Nice paint is OK, although it won't stay that way for long off roading, but that's OK. When I think for the cost of all that horrible looking chrome, you could have gotten better tires, a rack, off road accessories, it just doesn't make sense.
But this is America and I guess it's the diversity that makes it such an interesting place!
