Anyone add HUMMER letters to the rear tailgate?
I was thinking of tracing, on blue painters tape, the front polished letters I installed in the lower bumper, then aligning another set to the tape and the tape would then hold the letters as I applied them to the rear, lower right corner of the rear tailgate.
This would guarantee correct spacing of the letters.
So, anyone do this yet?

Good idea. I might do a project like this this weekend but with larger letters. Like the ones that go on the H2 grill.

Check it out f5fstop -

What do you think? The letters fit perfectly in the back doors groove. Actually looks pretty nice.

I just put some 3m tape on the back of the letters and cut some basa wood as a template for spacing. Not as nice or exact as your idea but looks pretty nice none the less.
Now when I am racing and pass all the cars they will know what kind of truck passed them.

Nice job H3; those letters do fit perfectly.
Are the polished or brushed, stainless or aluminum? Are those the ones being sold ebay?

I which they were brushed they are just cheap platic stickers. I had an extra set from my eBay purchase. Not bad - 2 sets for $17.00 with shipping.

Looks pretty cool for the price.

Could you PLEASE take a picture of the whole back end so I could see the contrast between the chrome "H3" and the grey "HUMMER". Thank You.

If you go to a banner shop they will sell you some vinyl tranfer paper. Just put this on the orginal lettering and remove the backing on the decal and it will be prefectly spaced.

Not sure what you are saying, since I'm not familiar with vinyl transfer paper. Reason I would trace the front letter first, is that the package of letters received are in separate little envelopes. Tracing the front onto painters tape would allow me to keep the exact same spacing as the front letters. Then adhere the new letters to the painters tape, spacing per the tracing done, remove the double sided tape, apply to rear of vehicle, press down, then remove the painters tape.

But, before I do anything, I have to get the clear protective film added to the front of my rear fenders.

I'm going to my garage now to put the stainless letters on the rear. Hope they fit. If so I'll get my kid to post pictures.
