I have a 2008 H2 SUV and found a SMA bumper valance (for PIAA DRL mounting) that I would like to pick up, but I am unsure if the front end behind the bumper of the 2008 is a match for prior years. I know that the grille is different and that the HUMMER letters are no longer on the slats of the grille but are moved to a piece under the grille on my 2008, thus my concerns about other slight, but significant, mounting and/or alignment differences between the earlier (up to and including 2007) and later (2008 onward) models.

By the way, given that SMA is long gone, what would you value the bumper valance at? It's nigh impossible to find old pricing on these SMA parts, such as the valance and brush guard, so trying to gauge what their new value would be in today's dollars is quite difficult. Would you buy one? What would you pay for it?

Any insight appreciated, as always.

Thanks.

Wish I could help you with this one. I'd be happy to take some measurements for you if you tell me what you need.

You really threw me with the subject of this post.

Yeah, in retrospect, a title reflecting the SMA-ness of the topic would have been more apropos. I tried to go back and edit my initial post to change the title to "structural diff -2007|2008-", but the option to edit the title wasn't present. Lesson learned, sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the offer to take measurements, I may come back at you on that via DM if necessary.
