I hope that is PHOTO SHOP and not for real!! That may be the worst use of graphics I have ever seen and has for sure set a new low for H2's.

Sorry to ruin your day Hummer Man, but yes they are real. I feel the same way about Gobi racks and tires stuck on top as you apparently feel about my graphics. To each their own. Enjoy your Hummer, Hummer Man. I can only assume yours is perfect and everyone loves what you have done to it. I do have more pictures I can send to you if you need additional targets for your dart board.

I rather like it. It brings out your own personality. Wait until the dealers see it as someone will copy it..
Black H2 Adventure Series+ all other options.
Looks pretty cool. Certainly sets your truck apart. Is that a decal that has been applied or actually painted on...

I like it. I would not have done the hood and tailgate (too much crap on them from the get go), but I dig the sides. Good job.

Hummer Man, to put it bluntly, Why do you have to be such and idiot! From reading your past post, you never have anything nice to say about anything. The graphics are a unique expression of NVR STUCK tastes. I personally applaud him for making such a bold statement with his truck. As for you, your credibility is somewhat questionable. First with yourstatement on being able to supply the Hummer fuel doors and second with your numerous one line posts which give no constructive criticism at all. If you want to build up the amount of posts you have, atleast do it with an intelligent post that people would want to read.
I like it, if for no other reason than because Hummer Man doesn't. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
Nice job! I especially like the Vortec stuff on the hood edges.

Why does Hummer(Bummer) Man always send three posts at a time?

I like it - it's unique and stands apart from the crowd; even though you don't like Gobi Racks [joking with you].

... I'd also like to see the truck that left those tracks!!! Yikes!! Ha ha

I love it. You even captured the BFG tread pattern. That's detail.
I think it makes your H2 look tough. It's been run over and not a scratch. Now that's tough!
I bet you're going to have a lot of people stopping you on the road to ask where you got that from.
Keep up the good work.
Hummer Man, applaud people for their individuality and willingness to do something that no one else is doing. That is true customizing.
I for one love to see what people have done to their rides, no matter what it is.

Hey NVR STUCK
I like it - The H2 is art work on the road - you have added your character to your art work. I have a white H2 and in the process of designing a potential RED-WHITE-BLUE graphic as support-belief in the USA and my character. You have help me see that the H2 is an extension of owner in any shape or fashion. By the way - I like the Gobi racks

My hat's off!
I think it looks great - with more and more H2's showing up on the road this is exactly the ticket to set us apart from others.
Where can I get a set of Zebra stripes? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

go for it...the possibilities are endless
If they were decals, and not too expensive, they might be fun for a club event/gathering/outing. Once or twice a year kind of thing (if you didn't want them on all the time)
NVR STUCK has my creative wheels turning, for sure.

Very creative and well done! I would have never thought of the tire tracks, but I like it. Though it wouldn't work on my Black H2.

Thank you for the support. Everything is a graphic and not painted. The Vortec 6.0 and rear stripe are standard fare from auto trim design. I changed the words to No Limits to go with the tire tread design. The tire tracks, H2 on the hood, HUMMER on the side, and "like nothing else." on the back glass were my idea. I took my ideas to the local Auto Trim Design shop. They scanned my tire tread into the computer and that's why the tire graphics are an exact match. By the way - Gobi racks with the tire on top are great. I just would not put one on my truck (I took the roof racks off mine). I would not tell someone their truck is UGLY just because they made a personal decision to install the rack. The dealer is already requesting the HUMMER graphic for the side. I only hope that Auto Trim Design lives up to their word and will keep my H2 custom.

I like the H2 on the hood the best, and then the HUMMER on the sides.
As long as you like the design, nothing else should matter. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I suppose you posted these pictures because you want everybody's candid opinion. Well it looks like you got some! I like the tire tracks on the side, the large "Hummer", the "no limits" and the "vortec". The tire tracks on the hood and back might be a bit much for me.
I think you are ahead of your time. As the Hummer gets more common people may be even more interested in seeing custom graphics and paint. All in all your truck looks great, I love the pewter and I think you're custom graphics show great individuality and personality. Did the custom shop say anything to you about how long you could leave the graphics on your truck before it would affect the paint permanently? Was it expensive?
As you may or may not know I still do not have my H2 yet. I would have purchased it already if I could just make up my mind what color I want. I too am very interested in adding custom graphics and paint. So for me it makes the decision harder because now I'm trying to decide what color would lend itself to the graphics schemes I am considering. If I don't decide on something soon I think my wife will have me committed.

LOL. My wife told me the same thing when I asked her what she thought of black zebra stripes on my Suburban. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif It's a good thing that some of us men have wives or we'd be riding around in the ugliest trucks we could possibly conjure up. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
Speaking of ugly, or maybe not, I'll let you guys decide. I have been playing in Photoshop again. A Hummer dealer in New Jersey was nice enough to let me have a yellow H2 for a 24-hour testdrive. When I had it at my house I took some pictures of it and I have been playing with them. Keep in mind, it has the chrome package and the truck I want, would not. It will also have a black full size safari rack and tire on top. Yes, NVR Stuck I know you just love this combination! Ha ha.
Candid opinions are welcome. Is this a loser idea, or is there some way to make this look good. The theme of course is that the safari truck is out on the Serengeti. Enjoy.

Neat! I think this scheme would work best on either a yellow or black H2. For some reason I like the 2nd one better.
I've tried the photoshop thing but all of my results looks like I turned my 6yr old loose on my H2 with a box of crayons or bucket of paint. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Once everyone at the club has an h2 yours will still be unique. As long as you dont put chrome, 22" wheels, road tires, a lowering kit and blast rap I think it looks great!!!!!

I agree with JSA_3 about the second one. It looks full and flows well. The direction of the grass appears to make the vehicle look like its moving when standing still. I think your color scheme and idea would work best on yellow. I have some before shots of my Pewter H2 if you would like to play with them. The graphics are vinyl and I was told they would last 3-5 years. No paint damage is suppossed to occur. Cost - more expensive that I thought they would be, $650.00 installed.

A fuel door and that's it. My wife has layed down the law. Nothing else for the Hummer!

Sure, I will take you up on a before shot of your pewter H2. My e-mail address is in my profile. A side view shot is the best.

Those effects were done with brush presets. My first Photoshop work wasn't any good either. But it sure is fun.

How about mud flames coming over the hood?
Anyone remember the 5.9 Limited Grand Cherokee ads of 1998? They had the Grand done up like that. I think they used that spray on bedliner stuff to do it, so the "mud" had a texture.
Alos the zebra strip idea is cool, although a bit dated. You might also be mistaken for Ted Nugent. Which might not be a bad thing, actually. People would probably give you a real wide berth if they thought you were the Nuge.
edit: found a pic of the Jeep.

That's hilarious - it does look like Rhino Spray-On Bed Liner.

sorry to voice a neg opinion but.....
I'm glad that you put "HUMMER" across both doors because I didn't know what it was otherwise. Do you have a 4 foot "LEXUS" on your car so you can tell them apart.
Why would you cover up a $50,000 truck with $400 of vinyl graffics? A $5000 paint job maybe.
I like the tire tracks just not all the other stuff.

is that all vinyl cut out ?
It's OK but......... the tire tracks.... it looks like something has run over your Hummer.
Do you and or your company sell tires ?
