The H2, while still a consumer vehicle, was designed with off-roading in mind, so the same type of customization is VERY contrary to the vehicles design and purpose; thereby making it more noticeable and ostentatious. It becomes an "I can do this just because I can" kind of thing...which draws negative attention. And couple that with the fact that famous people were pushing these blinged vehicles (rappers, movie stars, athletes, etc.) makes it seem even more ostentatious...a symbol of 'excess'...a perfect target for a green-peace crusade.
OLIVE BRANCH: I'll concede that Bling alone did not kill the Hummer...but he was in the posse that brought the big boy down.

so anyone customizing a h2 should ONLY do it, IF their customizing it to use it offload? And only make customizations to it to benefit it in the unlikely event that the will take it off road? Just because it was made to be a street able offloading truck..... But I think you have it backwards. The bummer is an offloading truck made for the street.
