Product Description
Hummer H2 Hood Accent Package, 10 Pieces: Hood Vent Cover, Lever and Handle, 2003-2009 (HV43006)
HV43006 is the broadest hood kit QAA lists for the H2. The catalog calls it a Hood Accent Package, gives it ten pieces, and sums up its coverage in one note: "Hood Vent Cover, Lever and Handle." It is listed for the Hummer H2 4-door SUV across 2003-2009 and is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish.
Reading the note
The note names three areas on the hood: the vent cover, the lever, and the handle. It does not divide the ten pieces among them, so we can't tell you how many go to each. The product photos show the finished layout, and that is the best guide to what you'll be installing. Look at them alongside your own hood before you order, and call if your hood looks different.
Package or separate pieces?
The H2 sheet also lists individual hood parts. HV43003 is a two-piece hood handle accent noted "Installs flat onto existing hood handles" and "Must have factory hood handles for installation." HV43004 is an eight-piece hood latch base accent, and HV43014 is a two-piece hood accent trim. Because this package's note mentions a handle, it may overlap with HV43003, but the catalog doesn't say so either way. Compare the photos of each listing, or call, so you don't end up paying for the same coverage twice.
Install plan
All ten H2 hood accents mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, with no drilling. QAA states the tape holds for a lifetime and causes no damage to the Hummer's surface.
Ten pieces on a hood reward a methodical approach. Wash the hood, paying attention to the vent openings and around the lever, then wipe each mounting area with rubbing alcohol and let it dry. Group the pieces by area on a towel using the photos, keeping the vent, lever and handle pieces in separate rows. Fit each one with its liner still on. Then work one area at a time: peel, place, press firmly along the full outline. When everything is on, press each piece again. Hot sun on a dark hood can make the surface uncomfortable to work on, so a shaded, mild day is easier. Full steps are on the Installation tab.
The material
Grade 304 is a widely used stainless alloy for exterior trim, and 26 gauge is the sheet thickness. The mirror finish is polished into the metal itself rather than plated on, so care is just mild soap, water and a soft towel.
Fitment check
The only fitment row is the H2 4-door SUV, model years 2003 through 2009. Check your H2's year against the listed range before ordering. No other restrictions are listed, so the deciding check is your hood itself compared against the photos.

Installation tips: Hood Accent Package
- Unpack all 10 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.
