Here's a tip...
Flip over the mat in the cargo area. It's rubber on the other side (no bumps) and has the H3 logo. Looks pretty sweet!
Whomever did the job, they did a fantastic job on the back. While it looks naked to me, it's a very well done job.
Enjoy!

Very nice. What did you do about the vent in the rear door?

Looks great. Even better than I remember the Photochop version looking!
I don't normally go for the shiny stuff but dang, that's a very well done blend/balance of colors, black and shine. Very nice! The front tow hooks remind me of a dancer I once knew . . .  
Ditto what Murph asked -- where's the vent?

Are you doing to swap the bumper out now? Or make something to rid of the tire gap?
I wonder if you can put the plate there, and add another tow loop.

Thanks for all the positive feedback!! The rear vent is GONE. I haven't relocated it either. Since there is no vent I haven't noticed any real difference as of yet - come winter if the rear starts to condense really bad I may look at relocating it, but until then its gone.

That actually is a pretty good idea. I don't know how I could possibly do that without making it look like a hack job though. Actually, as it is I think it looks pretty good so I don't have any plans on altering the back bumper.
The guy that I had do the work did an awesome job. I really couldn't have asked for more. When I went to pick the truck up he said that he would NEVER do another though - he put in an extra 8 HOURS above his quote!! 
So I got one helluva a good price for a job very well done. $800 CND.......but if you ask him now it is $1200 CND!

Since you "cleaned up" the back I think it would look cool if you had all of the black/grey plastic painted yellow to match the body panels for a true clean look.

Are you going to put the H3 logo back on? I think it would look good if you did, but it looks great now and glad you're happy with the result.

I just flipped over that rear mat and the H3 does look pretty cool!!
I am going to put the H3 logo back on as soon as I get some 3M tape. I don't mind the look of it as is, but the H3 is a definate must! Have to represent yo!  |

Most people think you'll see the plastic "nipples" under it, when in fact it has a nice logo appearance to it, and will prevent items from sliding around.
Nice work!

come winter you just lost alot of rear weight do you think the rear is going to be all over the place now I think the rear tire looks good on the back plus gives good weight for the rear tires.

That rear door sure lost some weight.
I noticed the jack/tools are on the cargo space, did you also lost the mounting bracket?

Actually its in the Green Supercharged H2 right now. I rotate it around so each of the vehicles can have its turn carrying it.

Yeah, the rear door flys open now. And all the original mounting brackets are still in place. The only modification was to the exterior sheet metal. All interior parts are intact. If I wanted to remount the bracket it would take all of 4 drill holes and would be done.
I say give the H3's four or five years, probably less and we will see how many of the rear doors are sagging like every other GM setup ie) specifically the Jimmy. |
