New 2006 H2 Project total transformation
Hello to all, Im back in a Hummer H2, allow me to tell my story. I had a 2005 SUT bought new in 2005 had it for 4 years, totally fixed it up and sold it. Long story, I can tell at another time. We fast forward to 2014 Dec. I ordered a new 2015 Land Rover/Range Rover ($95,000.00) well they did not have any for me to drive so I put a nice deposit down on one anyway, love the looks...well about 3 weeks later they had a Used 2015 Range Rover and I drove it, and it was so boring to drive, the look out the windshield was so uninspiring. And the ride was soft and dead....well I asked for my deposit back, (no issues) and I looked at the Q80 Limited, it was nice but gosh, with this body style, you have to buy a new one ever other year, because they change so fast....but one vehicle I never got tired of was a Hummer H2, I loved the hood and all the angles, especially where the windshield wipers go in......and I could go on and on, but anyway I thought hey with a Hummer you never have to worry about what's coming out next year, and the prices are going up..people are realizing that this vehicle gives a great ride, is reliable, safe, and is different, you just do not see them that often. So I decided to buy one and total fix it up. I put new 16 inch Wilwoods, 6 piston brakes front and back (Brembo does not offer them this big) and then I put Fox racing shock w/res, Helwig anti-sway bars front and back, change all the interior to Kat-skins leather, 8 inch DVD in head rests, swede leather on head liner, and parts of the dash. New gauges, new thicker steering wheel, 24 inch wheels 325/50/24 tires and now its at the paint shop, Im am going with Nardo Grey (audi color) unless anyone has a better idea. I love the loud colors but....it is going to be my everyday driver. I will post some photos

Thanks...yes I can not wait...Im struggling with the paint choice...Nardo Grey the Audi colors is great but the transformation from light to dark has got me scared...if you look at the photo's it goes from a creamy dove grey, to a bold stark grey from sunshine to shade...Im not sure I like this. I think I like a more consistent color...your thought?
