I would be surprised if most people could tell the difference between the two if one past by right now.

You need to go back to the beginning and read through all threads so you don't miss anything </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Kiss it Newbie!!!!!

MisterE: I can see the foam on mine if you get up close as well. This was the thinnest double sided mounting tape I could find. Maybe someone that got the self-stick ones will chime in and tell us about theirs.

HummerNewbie: There isn't any recessed imprint of the letters in the grille. There is a small recess on the bumper but not the grille. The letters just stick on the smooth, flat, chromed bars of the grille.

H3OH: Fixed it.

Steve...you have waaaayyy to much time on your hands!

I got the letters from someone selling them on Ebay. He seems to sell them regularly. He shows 2 still available. I bought 2 sets for myself (they are cheap) just in case I ever need to replace a letter. I believe these are the real letters that come on the H2 grill. They are very nice self stick thick molded plastic.

Thanks, Just ordered a set. Only one left guys.

[woyster_h3]

I wish I had realized the ones I ordered were the non self-stick ones.

So, any ideas on how to install them? Does 3M make a double stick tape that is strong enough to hold them on yet thin enough that the letters won't stick out too far? Any ideas on where to find it?

Thanks.

[HummerNewbie]

I have seen some double sided tape out there that is about as thin as scotch tape but very sticky. I would just watch out for them when washing it.

skeeter,

Do you have the link for the one with the self stick tape? I looked at his other items and he just has the non-stick ones. After further inspection from the previous links, the letters look a bit different. Interesting.

I want them, but want the adhesive on the back. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I wonder if GM trademarked the shape of the Hummer letters; especially the "R." If they did, then they might have told the guy to stop selling. They did the same thing with the Corvette. They are known as Corvette letters with an actual Corvette font.
Just wondering; don't know for sure.

WTF is that and what is she doing to it?

[richk]

I think he has more than what was listed on the auction. I would email the seller if you are interested.

It's from a website dedicated to fixing bad squirrel teeth...

unreal the factory doesn't do that. come on...

[richk]

Bummer, I guess he noticed the increased interest in the product. Still seems like a reasonable price.

My next addition is mud flaps for front and rear.

[HummerNewbie]

Oh, I knew the letters recessed into the bumper and thought they did on the grill. I now remember discussions a while back about why the didn't have the letters on the grill at all. My bad

[H3OH]

Funny you mention that f5fstop, because the GT Style website no longer has the Hummer logo on the spare tire cover. They took it off recently for some reason.

[woyster_h3]

I'll try to drop by the auto parts store and see what I can find.

Being that my H3 will never go to a carwash and will always be washed by hand I don't see a problem with double stick tape...but who knows.

Thanks.

[socalH3]

Where did you get the letters? Or did you fabricate them? Looks great dude.

[MisterE]

Thanks for the heads up!

Major Kudos to the first person that can find that thin mounting tape on the web.

I know of some thin stuff like that, but the stuff I saw wouldn't last outdoors.

Thanks Again,

Great Forum

The self-stick ones have clear adhesive on the back. It's thin, but not as thin as scotch tape. I emailed the seller and he said all the self-stick letters are sold and he only has plain ones available (and only a limited number of those remaining). The letters look great, glad I was able to turn everyone onto this. Maybe someone over at GM will take notice and start doing this at the factory. When I was over at the Hummer dealer the other day I looked at the letters on the H2 and ours are exactly the same.
