It's raining here (imagine that), so the lighting is poor on these pics. I'll post more later.

Now punch out that H2 emboss and put a turn signal in there and you are set!

Yes, they were. Extended warranties are worth every penny.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

GM should not have made such an ugly mirror in the first place for a great machine like the Hummer.

Can you get a Wash rag in between the mirror and the door? It looks pretty close.

I want to see "before" pics of the mirrors on your rig. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I looked in my phone, but apparently the thought of "gotta get a picture" and the act of "taking the picture" never made it to reality. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Should have got his chrome in the foreground and him splitting my firewood in the background. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Looks very good D. Did you use vinyl dye or regular spray paint?

Doubtful, you would wear it off quite fast from repeated use. I would just have your handles PC'ed, it could easily be done in a few hours including prepping them.
