Consider Adding a Hummer Fuel Door For a Customized Look
Hummers are all about the bling or more specifically, the biggest and most rugged vehicle on the road. Looking at the original military version, one would never have predicted this development. But, once GM decided to start putting shiny paint on them, it became logical to chrome out all of the accessory bits. Lately, the fuel door has become one of the favorite targets for chrome.
Chrome doors can be bought for almost all late-model pickups and SUVs. The Hummer fuel door comes in chrome from the factory. It is decorated with the hummer emblem, which is based on the wheel design of the military H1’s self-inflating tires. This looks nice, and does the job for a lot of folks. But if the truck is really going to look custom, then it can’t have the same one as everyone else. Fortunately there are lots of companies out there selling replacement doors. Read more

What to Look For in an H2 Brush Guard
As a Hummer H2 owner, you are king of the road. Your H2 is your chariot. And like any chariot, it needs defending, which is where a good brush guard comes in. With a good quality H2 brush guard, you can protect your Hummer’s grille from loose stones or pavement, flying debris, or even the occasional wild shopping cart. The grille is what gives your Hummer its aggressive, bad-boy rugged image, and it’s also what protects your radiator and engine, which is why you need to outfit your truck with this customized Hummer accessory.
So what type of things should you look for? First off, make sure that the guard is made from stainless steel, not just chrome-plated. Sure, both look shiny, but all brush guards will eventually encounter flying road debris, salt, bugs, off-road brush or other obstacles. If you settle for one with chrome-plating or chrome paint, you’ll find that they can rust once even the smallest surface chips occur. Springing for stainless steel is worth the peace of mind.
