My black grill

[DennisAJC]

This thread diffinitely motivates H2 owners to spend more for that personalized look.

Mac, very cool. The blackened roof bars are a first. Are you thinking about the mags yet?

I think going the opposite of bling bling might catch on.

DRTY, dems old pictures(Still cool)! Show us your new ones.

My son saw FrgMstr's Pic on my screen.

He yelled' "SPIDERMAN!!!!....Took me a few seconds to figure it out.

Mac, tell your gardener the area around your tree needs a little mulch. How come you couldn't take out the four "big screws" holding on your brush guard? Did your pliers keep slipping off the bolts?

Thanks Ken, the black out lense is a bit too much for me.
When we got home, my son excitely called out my wife to look at the black grill. She looked and looked and asked: "what's new? what did you change?" and went back in. To most people, it doesn't matter at all. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholders. I doubt most people will ever notice it, which is fine with me.

Once the weather clears up, I am going to clean, spray prime and spray paint the skip plate black, same way PhilD did it. That's about it. Don't want to over do it. The black grill is basically the only aftermarket item I got. I sort of like quiet stealth low key approach.

That goes on quite a bit around my house as well.

Excellent. I was surprised the grill has only 4 screws, which made the job easy. The lower center plastic cover took a while to figure it out, I was "thinking" too much, it was a simple pull from one corner to the others. My only roadblock was the 4 big screws holding the brush guard. Surprised I never had the need to remove any big screws in my life prior to yesterday.

I like it very much. It looked a lot better when I parked it on the street, as I look at it in my garage, I don't know why I was so excited about it yesterday.

Cute boy, nice outfit & good taste in vehicle.

Dennis, what are mags? mags are rims? I like the factory rim look.
My roof bars came all black.
Tell you the truth, I ordered a Lux H2 at first, 2-3 months wait. Dealer told me they are making one that day Adv. black, too bad it is all black, I siad, NO No that's just perfect, I'll take that. Added leather, cut the wait to 1 month. See how everything turned out just right without extra effort?

Drtyfn, Pewter is always beautiful. Them black rims are excellent. Give me your address, I'll find someone to come up and jack it up and take them, there must be some kids willing to work for a couple hundred dollars.

IMHO, them black rims do not fit your beautiful pewter Hummer, stock silver is just right for pewter. Tell you what, I am always willing to help out a friend in need, why not take a vacation in SF or go offroad with someone around here, stop by my place before you go offroad, we'll make the trade in 1 hour. That'll rectify your problem.

There's a black rim photo:

I sort of like things happen naturally in a smooth fashion without streching it out of the way. When it comes it comes, when things happen it happen. Few months or a year ago, one needed to find a local shop to sand and repaint the grill, and there was no clear photos. To me, that was "streching" it to get it done.

In this case, 1/ It is a Hummer factory part.
2/ Price $368 is reasonable, S&H included. (GM parts direct $268+$35).
3/ I've seen several good photos, confirmed good service and result.
4/ I emailed HummerParts.com, Scott answered all emails instantly.
5/ I ordered and it arrived in 2 days.
6/ Installation was very easy and cheap($10).

That's the way things should work. A round peg into a round hole. In most things, I generally wait or back off if some of the elements are not working out smoothly and I have some minor doubts.

It is a matter of time, 6 months, 1 year or 2, some black rims will come my way at the right price, then I may or may not make the jump. Maybe one day a guy will say to me: "Hey, I can paint those rims black for you for $100." I'll say "OK." Anyone has good black rims photos? Drtyfn, don't you have black rims? seen them before but can't find pic. I am not so sure how black I want to get.

If this forum's store has it, it would have been my first choice to buy it here.

Mac,

You did good, black looks much better than the chrome. Now, I'm back to wishing I'd choosen black instead of yellow. Next vehicle will be black.Maybe an SUT

I know for a fact if I did not USE my brush guard to keep the grill and lights from getting busted up, it surely would not be on there. The H2 lines look a lot better without the metal work on the front IMO.
