i rattle canned my skid plate with the duplicolor truck bed coating. it will give it the appearance of line x but a lot cheaper. and as KenP said it will scratch the first rock you hit. only 6.00 a can at pepboys.

I had the same concern about the other lights not looking right - but it just may not matter!
I can't wait to see it!

I'll order them up and see how it looks. I see it's a buy it now listing so I dont have to worry about watching it. If they look sucky they may be back up for sale on the "for sale" section.

Yeah it was me. HA HA HA.
Laser washes usually do "okay" but this time it even missed some soap. I just got done hand washing it so now I can't feel my fingers.

ROFLMFAO Good point - I have the same problem, though my NAME isn't on mine. I wish CA would go back to a simple black and white tag! I wonder if I'd get pulled over if I made my own?

Yes that will be one of my next projects on my list. I'm thinking about Line-X since I hear such great things about it. Anyone tried it there yet?

Just take them off and don't replace them.

I want too. But I'm short and we're expecting our first here soon. Wife would kill me if she had to jump in.
Thanks

LMAO. Yeah that's a big problem right there. I thought about blacking them out and using a better personalized tag but I couldn't really think of a good one. So I just used the ones off the Benz I traded in.

By the way you see a set yet for turn signals and such? I think it might look dumb without everything being done.

If I was blackening mine, I'd clean it real well, prime it and rattle can it. This way you won't cry the first time you crack it and you can always touch it up when you get home.

Another project for this weekend. I spend more time with my Rig than my wife.

I told mine that we would try it for a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks quickly becomes 3 years </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I'm trying tonight when she gets home from work. She's been asking for an H3 so maybe this will keep her out of mine (she has a VUE now, so it will be a huge step up). We just got married so I promised her to let her into the Hummer family with one of her own. Now if I could talk her into a 05 sitting on the lot somewhere (H2), instead of that H3.

I'm going through the same process toward "Stealth Mode." Have you looked into these smoked out marker lights? There are five sets of them on E-Bay @ $109 each. Wish I could see them on a rig! Why don't YOU try 'em and post some pics?
