Thanks for the feed back. Looks like they did a good job.... What size tires are you running?

that's exactly what I was thinking of doing. I've got the solar flare metallic so there'll be a lot more contrast but I think it'll look good. Is that rhino liner or something similar?

I think it is Line-X. You can go to the Line-X website and enter your zip and it will list all the dealers in your area. I am going to call the local dealer here in Austin to get the front grill done.

I went to my nearest(2 hours away) dealer's website and Hummer isn't even listed as an available vehicle make. They need to get with the program. But I requested a quote anyways, and used the Volkwagen Thing as my vehicle. How much did they charge you?

If I get my lined, I'm not sure if I want to include the front turn signals. Though I'm wondering if it would look weird having that chrome right in front of the lined fender. Is your reflector painted over?

Does anyone know where to find the gaskets that go between the fender and body? I don't think they will be reusable.

the rubber inbetween the fenders is reuseable. I am thinking of doing the same thing to my truck but want to keep it the same color as the truck now and do the bottom half of the doors also.

Default very spensive at boby shop

a kid njked my left rear,a scratch, plus popped the $210 chrome gas cover.
i had 2 quotes including pull and paint with new rubber. $450 and $762

i touched up scratch and found a way to remount chrome with 4 stainless screws.. if you look REAL close you mite see the touched up scratch, but you wont see the $762,,its tucked away in the bank.

they claim its a good job pulling and redoing the ONE fender.

id find some good tape,,or a gooder taper and shoot them on the veh

i like the look, but i also love my fresh waxed RED,RED, h3

tom

actually 700 in bank, i layed a couple 20's down for the estimate!
