Product Description
Hummer H3 Z-Grille Cover, 1-Piece Polished Stainless Grille Accent, 2006-2009 (HV46306)
HV46306 is a single-piece stainless grille and front accent trim for the Hummer H3, and its catalog note names it a "Z-Grille Cover." It is listed for the H3 4-door SUV from 2006 through 2009, cut from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish and made in the USA.
One piece for the grille
A single piece means the whole accent goes on in one step, which makes alignment straightforward: once it's centered, it's done. The catalog doesn't describe the Z shape or how much of the grille the cover spans, so the product photos are your reference. Compare them with the front of your H3, and call before ordering if your grille has been replaced, modified, or fitted with a bull bar or other accessory that changes what's visible.
A cover, not a replacement grille
This is an overlay that installs directly over the existing surface. Your factory grille stays in place underneath; the stainless gives it a bright face. If the grille itself is damaged, repair it first.
Installation
The cover uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. There's no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
The front of a vehicle collects bugs, road film and wax, and the grille's edges hold onto all of it. Clean thoroughly with soap and water, use a soft brush in the openings, then wipe the mounting surfaces with rubbing alcohol. Let everything dry. Hold the cover in place with the liner on, and check it from straight ahead and from each front corner to make sure it sits centered and level. Use a few pieces of painter's tape as reference marks. Then peel the liner, set the cover to the marks, and press firmly over every edge and contact point. A second pass of firm pressure helps the tape seat. The Installation tab covers temperature and cure time.
Front-end companions
Other parts on the H3 sheet for the front of the truck include HV46302, a two-piece hood accent; HV46303, a nine-piece hood vent trim; and HV46305, a two-piece marker light trim. Lettering is listed too: HV46307, a six-piece set noted "HUMMER" inserts, and HV46308, a two-piece "H3" emblem. The catalog doesn't say where the lettering sits, so check each listing's photos.
About the steel
Grade 304 is a widely used stainless for exterior trim, and 26 gauge is the sheet thickness. The mirror finish is polished into the metal rather than plated, so there's nothing to peel.
Care
Rinse bugs off before they dry, wash with mild soap, and dry with a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads and aggressive bug-removal scrubbers, which leave fine scratches that show on a mirror finish.
Fitment
One row: Hummer H3, 4-door SUV, 2006-2009. Check your H3's model year against the listed range before ordering.

Installation tips: Grille Accent
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- 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.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
