Product Description
Polished Stainless "H3" Emblem, 2 Pieces, for the 2006-2009 Hummer H3 (HV46308)
Two pieces, one emblem: HV46308 is a stainless "H3" emblem for the Hummer H3, cataloged as Letter Graphics with the note "H3" Emblem. Two characters, H and 3, match the two pieces, though the catalog doesn't spell out the split. It is listed for the H3 4-door SUV from 2006 through 2009 and made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish.
Where it goes
The catalog doesn't say where on the H3 the emblem is placed. The product photos show it installed, and they are the reference to use. Compare them with your truck before ordering. If your H3 has had its badges removed or replaced, or the area has been repainted, call first, since the photos show the factory arrangement.
Placement matters on two characters
With only two pieces, spacing between them is what makes the emblem look right. Here's a way to get it straight:
- Wash the area, wipe with rubbing alcohol, and let it dry.
- Set both pieces in place with liners on.
- Step back several feet and check the spacing and the baseline.
- Run a strip of painter's tape along the bottom edge as a guide.
- Peel and press the first piece, then the second, against the guide.
- Remove the painter's tape and press both firmly once more.
Let the tape bond before washing. The Installation tab has temperature notes.
Mounting
Both H3 emblems mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, without drilling. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't harm the Hummer's surface.
Companion lettering
The H3 sheet also lists HV46307, a six-piece set noted "HUMMER" Inserts. Because the prep and method are the same, it can make sense to do both in one session. The catalog doesn't say whether they sit close together, so check both listings' photos.
Rest of the H3 list
Other cross-listed parts include HV46311, a two-piece rear window trim accent, HV46312, a two-piece pillar post trim noted "Rear Door," and HV46309, a six-piece wheel well accent. Each listing has its own photos.
Material and care
Grade 304 is a widely used exterior stainless, and 26 gauge keeps the emblem slim. The shine is the steel itself. Clean with mild soap and water and dry with a soft towel. Polishing compounds and abrasive pads aren't needed and can scratch the surface.
Quick start
It's one of the smallest kits on the H3 list, a fast way to fit a bright detail. If you like how it looks, the larger kits follow the same clean, dry, press method.
Before you open the package
Read through the photos once more and decide on your reference point before you peel anything, since a two-piece emblem has very little room for correction after the tape grabs.
Fitment
Hummer H3, 4-door SUV, 2006-2009, with no trim exclusions on the row. Check that your H3's year is inside 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.
