Product Description
Polished Stainless License Plate Bezel for the 2003-2009 Hummer H2, 1 Piece (HV43005)
A license plate sits at the center of the rear view, so a bright frame around it does a lot for one piece of trim. HV43005 is a one-piece license plate bezel in polished 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and listed for the Hummer H2 4-door SUV from 2003 through 2009.
Bezel, not a frame
QAA catalogs this as a License Plate Bezel. A bezel is trim that outlines the area around the plate on the body, rather than a frame that bolts on with the plate. The catalog doesn't describe its exact outline, so look at the product photos to see how it sits on the H2 and compare that with your truck before ordering.
Seven model years
One fitment row covers the H2 for 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, listed as a 4-door SUV. No trim or package restriction is noted, so any H2 SUV in that range is covered. Your records will confirm the year.
How it goes on
The H2 bezel attaches over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. You don't drill, and you don't need to remove anything permanently. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Taking the plate off first gives you clear access, and it's easy to put back afterward. Wash the plate area, which collects road spray, and wipe it with rubbing alcohol. Let it dry. Position the bezel with the liner on, step back, and check that it looks level and centered from a few paces behind the SUV. A couple of strips of painter's tape at the corners make good reference marks. Peel the liner, set the bezel on your marks, press firmly all the way around, and refit the plate. The Installation tab covers temperature and cure time.
The rest of the rear
If you're dressing up the back of the H2, several cross-listed parts are worth a look. HV43001 is an eight-piece set of "HUMMER" rear bumper letters with two accent pieces. HV43012 is a three-piece rear bumper accent noted "Includes Cut Out for HUMMER logo." HV43010 is a one-piece tailgate accent. And HV43016 is a fourteen-piece tail light ring package. Each has its own photos and notes, so check every listing before ordering.
Why a single piece is a good start
One bezel is a quick job and shows you how polished stainless looks on your truck's paint. If you like the result, the larger rear kits follow the same clean-dry-press method, so the first piece doubles as practice for the rest.
Care
Wash the bezel with mild soap and water, and dry it with a soft towel. The shine is the steel itself, so there is no plating to protect; just skip abrasive pads.

Installation tips: License Plate Bezel
- 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.
