"Project Stealth"

[MovinH2]

Okay guys I'm under way. So far done this week. Grill, fuel door, tail light gaurds. Up next rims and side steps. Any more idea's? Sorry the truck just went through a laser car wash (and it didn't do that good of a job).

Just take them off and don't replace them.

Looks great. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>


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

Looks great!! i told the dealer to take my side steps off and give me credit for them. its not as easy to get into the truck anymore but it looks much cleaner

[KenP]

That must have been one FAT person to to slam into your basketball pole and bend it that way! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Good looking truck. BTW, NO carwash does well with black. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I told mine that we would try it for a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks quickly becomes 3 years http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif </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.

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.

Thanks man. And thanks again for the tail light gaurds at a hell of a price.

I'm going through the same process toward "Stealth Mode." http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif 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?

ROFLMFAO Good point - I have the same problem, though my NAME isn't on mine. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif 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?

Man those are awesome. I just might do it. It's just unscrewing right to get them off? How about the rest of the body lights (turn signals) won't they look out of place than?

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.

Drive around with your home made one for a few months and if you don't get hauled off to jail I'll let you make one for me too. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I will be doing the side steps this week/weekend. Pic's to come. And maybe ordering up those stealth lights from EBAY. Got a link for that Bondage?

[Sewie]

Looks good. I love the blacked out look.

Have you thought about doing the skid plate? Maybe line-x or PC it.

[h2co-pilot]

That's one hell of a vacuum you got there Buddy.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

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?

LoL. The Vacuum is a beast. I like to call it the Hummer of Vacuum's. Although the one in the pic is a carpet cleaner.

[Bondage]

Sorry - had a helluva time finding it again! LOL But here it is - and you MUST send me some pics when you do it.

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!

[KenP]

Don't Line-X your skid plate. It will come off on the first rock you hit.

I don't think you can do the mirror caps because the coating is so thick. You may not be able to get them back on. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

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.

[MovinH2]

Should I powder coat the skid plate than you think?

[MovinH2]

By the way I've heard of black chrome how would that work?

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.

If you aren't planning on going offroad, do what you want because it won't matter.

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

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.
