Product Description
Polished Stainless Hood Accent Trim for the Hummer H2, 2 Pieces, 2003-2009 (HV43014)
HV43014 is a simple two-piece hood accent for the Hummer H2 4-door SUV, listed for every model year from 2003 to 2009. Where the other H2 hood listings focus on handles, latches or a full package, this one is cataloged plainly as Hood Accent Trim, with two pieces of polished 26-gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA.
How it compares with the other hood parts
The H2 sheet gives several ways to put stainless on the hood, separated by part type and notes:
- HV43014, this listing: Hood Accent Trim, two pieces, with no note.
- HV43003: Hood Handle Accent Trim, two pieces, noted "Installs flat onto existing hood handles."
- HV43004: Hood Latch Base Accent Trim, eight pieces.
- HV43006: Hood Accent Package, ten pieces, noted "Hood Vent Cover, Lever and Handle."
The catalog doesn't give a position or width for this kit, and it doesn't say whether the ten-piece package already includes these two pieces. The product photos are the best way to see exactly where HV43014 sits. If you're thinking of ordering more than one hood item, compare all their photos first, or call and we'll help you avoid overlap.
Installation
Both pieces come with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and install directly over the existing surface, with no drilling and nothing to take off the truck. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
The hood is a large, flat-viewed surface, so any misalignment shows. Wash the hood and wipe the mounting area with rubbing alcohol. Let it dry, ideally in the shade so the panel isn't hot. Hold each piece in place with its liner on, then stand at the front of the truck and look back along the hood to check that the two pieces look even. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Peel, set to your marks, and press firmly along each full length. Give the adhesive a day before washing. More detail is on the Installation tab.
The material
Polished 304 stainless gets its mirror finish from the metal itself, so there's no plated layer that could peel. 26 gauge is a thin sheet, which keeps the trim low on the hood.
Fitment
One row: Hummer H2, 4-door SUV, 2003 through 2009, seven model years, no exclusions. First, check your model year against that range.
Starting small
Two pieces is a short job that most owners can finish in one session with basic cleaning supplies. If stainless is going on the H2 over time, the hood is a visible place to start, and the result will tell you whether the handle or latch pieces come next.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft towel are all it needs. Skip abrasive pads and harsh compounds, which leave fine scratches in polished metal.

Installation tips: Hood Accent Trim
- 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.
