Yeah, I hated those stickers, so I just pulled them off. I'm actually contemplating rhyno-lining the rear bumper as well.

RPALATINE: On the rust issue. I have an 2004 with about 80K on the clock. I have owned it since 2008 and specifically looked at the under carriage when purchasing it. If it was clean, I figured the sheetmetal would be good too. It seemed like nearly all the Hummers from back east had a ton of chassis rust, even some places where it had bubbled under the paint (passenger side, back corner of rear wheel well). The real only way to avoid rust, it to prevent it, by clearing all mud / dirt build up between body panels and clearing all body/door drain holed (think 1972 Ford F-100 pick up boxes). The dirt builds up between the panels and it gets wet, holding moisture against the metal. Once it takes hold, its tough to get rid of without extensive resurfacing or replacement body work. Simply painting it with rattle can paint only covers the problem. At least you can be assured the hood will never rust! Good Luck!

They are vinyl. Easy to put on and remove (cops in TX like to have a reason to pull u over). I also have the headlights and fogs covered. Cool thing is I paid $29 each for the front and back set, and got a $20 rebate for each for sending the company I bought them from a pic.

Salado, 12 miles from Fort Hood. We have a lot of Hummer owners, mostly H3s and H2s, here and the surrounding areas, Killeen, Copperas Cove, Temple, etc...unfortunately as much Hummer owners we have here we don't have gatherings here like some of the other car owners, Cameros, Corvettes, etc...these owners seem to partake in gatherings except for us.
