Details on new accessories in 2004

Take a look below my comments for the original link and article:

=======================================

Looks like we can look forward to some new options for 2004 as well:

I especially like the idea of (mentioned in the press release):

1)chromed hood handles
2)chromed hood latches
3)new handles are available that mount into existing roof rails (like the SUT!)
4)an interior trim package (I hope there is a wood grain option and the aluminum trim rings for the A/C vents)


I don't like the idea of:

1)chrome gas cap with filler trim
2)three grille appearance options are offered in 2004 including body color, platinum chrome or black

It is very good to see that GM will allow new owners to customize their H2s even more in 2004. This is a typical practice after the initial year's run - the manufacturers typically watch the aftermarket to guage owners interest in various components and then make the most popular available as dealer installed options. This is nice for resale value because the items are GM approved and nice for the owner since they can be rolled into the financing of the vehicle.

I will be curious to see if GM actually produces these parts or if they are from one of the 3rd Party Aftermarket Manufacturers that we are all familiar with (and are advertised on this board).

What do you guys think?

H2 accessories
As if H2 weren't rugged or refined enough, GM offers a host of new accessories in 2004 to further enhance H2's "wow" factor. A bright appearance package includes chromed hood handles, hood latches and gas cap with filler trim. Chromed production wheels are also available. The trailering package now offered includes front hitch extension, vertical mount pin, hitch covers, electric brake harness and seven-to-four pin adapter. And three grille appearance options are offered in 2004 including body color, platinum chrome or black. For ease of access to loading items on accessory roof bows, new handles are available that mount into existing roof rails that come standard on every H2. From new chrome-plated tubular assist steps to a new chrome-plated wrap-around brush guard, and from an interior trim package to a roof-mounted bike carrier and HUMMER bike, there's an accessory to meet nearly every H2 owner's need. For more information on H2 customized accessories, please see the release that follows Specifications.
