I wanted to make my rear bumper letters really stand out, and I didn't want to spend 60 to 100 dollars for them. I decided to just cut out my own, from white reflective tape. Using an Exacto blade and a little care, it really wasn't too hard.

The only problem was I couldn't locate 3" wide, white reflective tape.
So, instead, I did locate some 1.5" wide tape.
At first I figured I'd just butt up one edge to the other and trim to suit.
Turned out it was much more trouble than it was worth. So I just laid down the "bottom half" of the letter, and trimmed it to fit into the recess of the individual letter. The 2nd piece I laid in, just over lapped the bottom, and I trimmed it to the edges of the letter.

The result is a very nice looking standout HUMMER lettering that is white in the daytime (matches my white H2) and at night, when headlights hit them they really stand out.
