Question How Much Is Too Much?

Hello board! I'm a visited for awhile now and am a proud new owner of H3 Lux.

Obviously, with the Lux package, the car is loaded with the chrome package. With that being said, I'd thought seriously about adding some new chrome accents.

My question to you all is how much is too much? I'm thinking about adding the chrome fuel door, chrome front side light chrome cover accents, chrome tail light cover accents, and eventually a chrome brush guard.

I don't want to come off as a mall crawler or look tacky or gaudy. How much is too much? Does anyone on here own one that has an abundance of chrome accessories?

There's no right or wrong answer. It's all personal preference. Best advice I can give you is to look through the albums or even do a Google image search and just see what you like. By the way, you mentioned that since it's a Lux, it "obviously" has chrome. That's actually not a good indicator of the Lux package. I have a chromeless Lux.

I have done a Google Image search and haven't really found any good photos of a Hummer with a plentiful amount of chrome accents. I'll check the the albums.

Also, I didn't know that there were chromeless Lux's. I thought all Lux's came with the chrome package. Evidentally, they don't.

Thanks again for the advice!

Must be nice. The H3 I looked at previously to buying the one I did came with the chrome fuel door and brush guard, too.

Mine has the touchscreen nav and DVD entertainment system installed in the headrests; so, my wife and I decided to go with that one over the one with the chrome goodies.

I have chrome accents like the fuel door, door handles, hitch cover, front bumper pieces but I'm not big on the chrome handles on H3's hoods. I bought the black billet powder coated ones and they look awesome even though I have other chrome. I also have the black powder coated brushguard. It really looks pretty cool together. I'm sure yours looks great....what color did u get? I have the boulder grey.

Sounds awesome, man!
I have the Boulder Grey also. I have the chrome accents on the handles, side mirrors, and running boards.

Got any pics of yours you could post? I'd really like to see what your ride looks like with the extra chrome accents.

My opinion..You have too much now..My '06 yellow Lux. had just a chrome fuel door. I just removed the H3 badges..and added black roof rack..and black running boards...
