[wannabeH3]

the paperclip you say? let me try that... anyways i guess i forgot to tel you how much they gave me on trade, they gave me 17k! more than i expected so i had to roll about 6k of my old loan into it hehe im going back to get the old one today to pull all my stuff off it.

My Dealer just called me after hunting for a week. He found what I wanted except it's Bolder Gray. Not My knid of color. He told me their are only two Alpha's in the Northeast area out ther with NAV and OFF road and moon roof,and the rest of the options I wanted. Both are bolder gray. And on top of that I'll have to Kick in for roof Marker Lamps and side steps.

Anyway.. He told me that The Factory has been shut down since Nov. No more H3's are being produced. What's out in the USA is it. GM is in Talks with some one to sell the line. I heard it on the news today. They will announce where they are by the end of march if the deal goes thru.

So..for me to get into an Alpha it will cost me at Least $20K from my 2007.
Theirs only $2k Cash back on the H2. My dealer said that there not having a problem selling them or I would consdider moving up.

So I'm up in the air again. I don't want to put my sack on the line for $20K. $10 K I could do and not feel bad about.....but $20K makes my Chubby go down.

Oh...That Thingy.... I thought you were talking about something on the Alpha..... Like a jumper on the "ALDC" ....I always use the Manage Attachments link below the post. .

Ok...I'll go back and finish that last line of crack now

You can use the manage attachments on bottom then use the clip.


Yeh I dont think they have the paper clip option on any Hummer,some car somewhere has to have that option.

Congrats! Since they gave you the Nav for free and you're pulling it out, want to pass it on for 10X the money? (10 x 0 = 0)

Seriously, are you going to sell it? I'm planning to take the D2 out of mine to put in another car, wouldn't mind the factory Nav.

[wannabeH3]

yeah im planning on selling it, im waiting for a new part to get my old nav installed. i guess the going rate is pretty good for those things on ebay. send me a figure you wanna pay and ill see what i can do.

[wannabeH3]

blacked out these things with some spray on tint from the hobby shop

[wannabeH3]

did the tails too

You forgot the Chrome Mirrors....

Mirrows ..a light sanding with 800 grit or higher and then primer and paint

Door handles...???

Or another paint expert here to add some info

[wannabeH3]

im sure that same tint spray would do the mirrors and door handles just fine with no prep other than some windex like i did on the markers and lights. its got a high glue content that makes it adhere and feel like a laquer while also not flaking. anyways its just one coat on the tail lights so about 4 or 5 coats would prolly do the trick.
