Thanks for the comments. It was not my first choice as far as the color but it was the only one I could find with a duramax. Damn the luck... It has grown on me and I am still trying to decide if I want to black it out or just lose the chrome bars and replace them with the retractable ones. What do y'all think?

I will say it needs new boots... Hopefully soon.

id say leave it the way it is. i like the look of it right now.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I had always planed on going with either black, white, or green and blacking it out. But the purple in this begs for chrome... Maybe it would look good in all black I don't know I've never seen the ultra marine any other way. Anyway the plan for now is some tires and the steps, I will revisit the issue after that.
Bye the way this thing has a 2 inch cognitto lift on the front, but it has nothing on the back. What's the biggest tire I can put on the stock wheel without lifting it any and without it rubbing?

you can throw some 37x12.5x20or 37x13.50 on that thing and it will look sick!

I would say wait until you are really sure what you want to do. I bought a red Mini Cooper a month ago because I couldn't find a black one that had what I wanted in options. The color was nice at first and really started to grow on us even more each day. Then it suddenly turned the opposite, I started disliking the color a bit more every day, so did the wife. It got to the point that we are trading it in this week towards a black car.

Also the same thing with chrome. I used to love chrome, didn't really like blackened look, especially wheels. Then I grew to love black wheels and hated chrome etc.... I was watching a car show on tv the other day and there were a lot of custom H2's on it and I really like the chrome again, if it's not overdone of course... But then again, even the overdone ones looked really good, on tv anyway,, for some reason they always look cool on tv and in person at shows.., not in pictures as much.

I was also watching some youtube vids and its weird/amazing how much, how many variations you can do the H2. The combinations seem endless. I can't think of any other vehicle that has that many options for changing looks wise. Mini Cooper tries to do that. On their web site, when you click on the "build your own" tab, there's an animation that says "loading more than 10 MILLION possible combinations". It's cool at first, but when its all said and done though, it's just all really small goofy things you can add here and there like stripes and decals and stuff. In the end all Minis still kinda look the same except for their crazy color combinations!

Oh I just found the show with the H2's on it... It's called "Rides" and the episode is "702 Motoring" and it's on the Velocity channel 839 on Comcast in my area...
