Hey guys,
Just got pics of the Hummer H3 Bull Bar by Westin fro the tech contact there. Now what I need is the verdict......what do you think? Worth a try?

I'm one of the few on the forum that actually admits to liking some bling, but I don't think this bull bar thing looks very good. Probably better ways to spend the bling money.
But to each his own.

Agreed...it does not have much purpose besides the bling factor.....but anything you put on the trun besides a winch is pretty much just as useless :-)

That was my simple abreviated opinion.
I think it looks cheap and is non-functional. You loose the front tow hooks which is not a good thing. I have seen those on a few vehicles in the past and just don't find them to be appealing. Customization is a personal thing, if you like it then do it.

HummerB has a good point. Ultimately its your opinion that matter most.
However, since you're asking for opinions here... You can add me to the against count. FUGLY

as time goes by, you might start considering putting a winch up there. I don't see that happening around that. Ultimately as a functionality thing, not only is it worthless, but you lose your tow hooks, decreased angle of attack on the front, and any thoughts about a winch. Does though have a beefy appearance for the mall parking lot. Be careful if you do offroad with it, you'll mangle whatever that thing is bolted to if its not the frame.

I've seen those on other trucks and I usually think they look pretty good. But it just looks a little off on the H3.
Plus you lose the tow hooks and some approach angle.

Not sure, but it may be cumbersome if you like to change your own oil.

It's all fun, accessorizing the H3's.
Some write about being anti-bling. Then they obsess over putting decorative Christmas tree lights (marker lights) on the roof, followed up with complaints about the wind noise at freeway speeds. But I thought they only used their H3 offroad. Gotta love it.
If I can ever wear out my Goodyear Wranglers that came with the rig, I will probably be wasting money on some 20" wheels and Nitto A/T tires, so I'm one to talk...

Looks good but you loose your front tow hooks.
