Product Description
All-Polished Stainless "H2" Rear Deck Emblem, 2 Pieces, for the 2003-2009 Hummer H2 (HV43026)
For an "H2" emblem that is mirror-bright throughout, HV43026 is the listing to look at. QAA notes the finish as "Polished Stainless Steel" and describes the part as a "Rear Deck "H2" Emblem," cataloged under Letter Graphics. The kit has two pieces of 26-gauge 304 stainless made in the USA, for the Hummer H2 4-door SUV from 2003 through 2009.
The polished option
QAA lists a second two-piece H2 emblem kit for the same SUV, HV43020, with the finish note "Polished & Brushed Stainless Steel." The finish note is the only difference the catalog records between them. It doesn't describe any change in shape or dimensions, so the product photos are where to compare. If you're unsure which look suits your truck, call and we'll talk through both.
Why finish matters on an emblem
An emblem is a small piece that draws the eye. An all-polished emblem reflects light strongly from every angle, while a brushed surface reads more muted. Neither is better; it comes down to the look you want at the back of the H2 and how it sits with other stainless you've fitted.
The two pieces
The catalog doesn't spell out what each of the two pieces is. Check the product photos for the arrangement before installing, and compare them with your rear deck area.
How it attaches
The emblem uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and goes directly over the existing surface. You won't drill anything. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
A straight, centered emblem is the goal. Clean the area with soap and water, then rubbing alcohol, and let it dry fully. With the liners still on, position both pieces and look from directly behind the H2 and from each rear corner. Painter's tape makes a good guide for the baseline. When it looks right, peel and press one piece, then the other, with firm pressure across each surface. Leave it to bond before washing; see the Installation tab for temperature notes.
Other parts for the rear
The H2 sheet lists HV43010, a one-piece tailgate accent; HV43012, a three-piece rear bumper accent noted "Includes Cut Out for HUMMER logo"; and HV43001, the eight-piece "HUMMER" bumper letter set. Check each listing before you order.
Small job, big effect
Two pieces and a clean surface are the whole job, so this is one of the quickest stainless upgrades on the H2 list. It's also a useful way to see how polished stainless looks against your paint before you commit to larger kits like the rear bumper accent or the letter set.
Upkeep
Polished stainless keeps its shine with mild soap, water and a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads, and wipe fingerprints off with a microfiber cloth.
Fitment
One row: Hummer H2, 4-door SUV, 2003-2009, no exclusions. Check your H2's year against that range.

Installation tips: Letter Graphics
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
