Default Poll: Chrome markers or Black ?

I got the H side markers in from ebay $25.00 including shipping.

I was planing on painting them black but noticed they look ok held upon the 3 in chrome . My wife comented that it kinda gives a little wrap around look to the grill.


Not sure how they will look painted black,I think they will look good but theres no going back if I install them painted or chrome.?

Im not planining to paint the grill black at any time soon and I have no other chrome on the truck(exept bumper inserts and there SS.)

To cold to put them on now but I was going to bring them to Fla next week and put them on there.

I like the selective use of bling myself, but I don't see a need for stickon trim for the markers at all.

The handles were chrome as first,, painted them also. I sanded them down for a good half hour then primered , then painted. That was early last summer. they still look new. Here are the handles I got http://www.h3source.com/store/h30020s.htm

Interesting 2 dont put them on

The problem is the wife doesn't want the grill black or color painted for now.
When its out of warranty(apx 1 1/2 years) We will get a different daily driver(maybe a H4 timing could be about right ) and I will change the grill,get bigger tires,rock bars,winch and take off the steps
When these are put on there on for good, thats why im leaning black.


I think to much about things, think twice do once

Thanks to jeeper at the Suncoast Flatlanders Forum I have a hook up for some trailes in bradenton 9 miles from the folks.
Gonna bring them for a ride for a hour or so.
Found nothing near Delray ,ill only be there one day though.
On the way back Im stopping in NC. My brother in law said he has some trails near him in Tabor City.
Not realy a wheeling trip but Ill get some different trails in.

The H3 will come home dirty for sure


I drove it back from georgia in july and droped my neice off(at night) in NYC.

I dont think one person in the city ever saw a dirty hummer

Going to also go on my brothers 45 foot sailboat and cruze the gulf.

I put them on down in Fla,I need a close up to see the H better(I didnt take any)
This was on daytona beach,I poped on it for a cruze on my way back.

Dam I could drive my 442 on that beach...I didnt even have to lock it in 4H or airdown

Are beaches have deep soft sand and have some trails around the dunes,down there its hard packed.
Still fun though and gives everyone access to the beach

I think it was nascar ,racecar or something to do with nascar or what ever the name was ?
