2005 SUT Chromed out

[Bimmer9938]

I guess some people like chrome...

[2010_5thgen]

basically because its cheap nasty plastic chrome in places it doesnt belong.

I think this truck can be toned down a bit by removing some of the chrome pieces, however there is nothing wrong with chrome on a Hummer. I think the OP's truck is just fine if that's what he wants to make it his own.
I personally think lifting a Hummer with lift kits and huge ass tires any more than it already is is just as
IMHO that is.

BUT! Can we at least all agree that 'the chrome won't get you home?'

...but those huge ass tires will.

AMEN!

My goodness. Everyone take it easy on this guy. He said he's gonna powdercoat and blacken it a little. Give the guy a little time as he asked in his third post.

Not in deep mud...

The chrome came on the truck like I said. Its a lot of extra cash that was invested to put it all on so I was reluctant to remove it all if you know what I mean. Its a head turner for sure, but a pain in the ass to clean. I get compliments all the time but here is what I want to do long term.
Duramax conversion (someday) sigh..... firefighter pay....
Powder coat all chrome.
Lift and XD Rims, Toyo rubber
Gobi spare tire rack on top
Spare tire eliminator
slant back truck bed cover ( outrageous price though)
The inside is chromed out but I kinda like it.
All handles, bezels, and what not are chrome, makes it look spiffy.
Stock nav unit is jacked so Ill probably redo the whole sound system.

Gonna need a second job or a wealthy donor.

If it makes you feel a bit better, most of the chrome on there isn't really that expensive. There's a lot of stick ons and overlays, basically everything except the front brush gaurd. I think even the rocker panel, the piece above the side steps is a cover... I am guessing there's not more than $500 in added chrome on it, depending on the source he bought it from of course...

I would take off the pieces you didn't like and sell them! Your mod list sounds great btw..can't wait to see this thing transform!

Good luck finding one of those, the company either went out of business or stopped making them... Otherwise I would have one too.

And everyone here knows your a Chromophob.
Ok-get it shiny sparkly things make you uncomfortable.
Can ya stop ****tin in other peoples threads.
Chrome is in tha title ya know.
Who knows maybe the op will "black it out" or lift it ,throw big tires on it, and never take it of blacktop.

Actually, most of the chrome isnt stick on on mine. Every light on the thing has a heavy metal chrome piece, all the handles inside the cab are chrome metal. The only pieces that are plastic are the breather boxes, the pieces on the side mirrors, and the side pieces are metal but they are stuck on too.
Yeah, I noticed that the company quit making those slant backs, but I think Teakatoys still sells them but they are like 6k! That is redonkulous. Ill make one myself if I have to before I pay that kind of money for that.

[2010_5thgen]

find a good fiberglasser. shouldnt be hard for someone to make.

[HUMMDAT]

Thats kinda what I thought as well. I just need to figure out how to attach it if I can make it.

I think he just meant it as a joke bro..if you wanna chrome it out, then by all means let it shine. We're just throwing our two cents in, and of course we'll tell him to de-chrome it. lol

Yeah I was looking at the pics and most of the add-ons on your truck seem to be billet pieces (which are pretty expensive). You may could get a couple of bucks out of it should you choose to sell some of it.
