Yep. When I bought my '06 with the lux package, I had 'em switch all the chrome back to black on the exterior. After all, it is a Hummer.

To-Shay!

Do I have to much bling?







Naa!

[Hummer Aficionado_VT]

Pacific blue alone is bling enough!

[mikejr]

i think i just got blingblindness from that thing.....

[mikejr]

my comment about blingblindness applied to that custom rig that algy posted a photo of at a car show...just wanted to clarify that...i saw my post fall under the member with the pac. blue LE and didnt want them thinking i was referring to theirs....

[Devis1957]

I know that my H2 is just a pavement princess, but if the vehicle looks good straight from the factory, no bling is necessary.

Tim is right and offroad bling is what you want to call the shiz-nit. Your setup is nice as it is, but the desicion to wheel will be a blast. I went through the phase of wanting to black out my rig(which is a form of bling btw) but decided to keep the bling but black out my front end. Was enough and now i have off road bling!

This is my plan so far...tell me what you think:
1. 20" Rockstars in black (KMC)
2. Black 2 tiered brush guard
3. Black rear tail light guards
4. (Possibly) black tube step assist
5. Later on.....Gobi roof rack

Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks....Jamie

I think that would look sweet...The 2 tiered brush guard looks good but the SMA one is something to give some though over as well. I actually thought about switching to 20 or 22in black rockstars when i was thinkign of ditching the chrome but if you plan on wheeling i think the rockstars are made to where they are verry succeptable to carnage. Would look nice...you could also have your current rims pc'd if your stuck on black.

Why would you say that, are they not tough? Also, wouldn't powder coating cost alot and also be quite troublesome with them already being chrome? I'm just thinking that they are already broken down enough with the chroming process, would stripping them again to powdercoat now futher reduce their strength? Just curious. Thanks though, I will also check out the SMA brush guard you were speaking of. Thanks bro....Jamie

I just don't get this whole Bling thing. Makes no sense to me. The Hummer product is targeted to off road, and is in fact one of the worlds most capable of off road vehicles.
I don't see any chrome on combat vehicles, of which Hummers make up a large percentage. I also don't see chrome on tree trunks or on rocks (at least not naturally occuring), so how did this start?
Do you really need a hummer to stand out in traffic, hmmm... don't think so, it's quite a statement as is. For my part it's function first and a clean apperanace is good enough. Nice paint is OK, although it won't stay that way for long off roading, but that's OK. When I think for the cost of all that horrible looking chrome, you could have gotten better tires, a rack, off road accessories, it just doesn't make sense.
But this is America and I guess it's the diversity that makes it such an interesting place!

So, in an effort to change my way of thinking (and probably piss the wife off), I will try and swap out my chrome goodies for something....ummm...less shiny. And will take the damn thing off-roading (no, I don't mean the dirt pad next to the mall either ) Just wanted to vent...thanks....Jamie
