Hey everyone.

Hope life is treating you all well!

I need to get a replacement Inlet Covers / Air Intake Vents (I've seen different names for them) as mine have cracked and are just generally falling off...

These things ...

H3.jpg

(excuse the bad picture, I haven't had time to go and take another one, sorry)

I know the Part Numbers:
Driver Side - 19120871
Passenger Side - 19120872

But I can't seem to find anywhere that actually sells them :(
I've searched on google, ebay, amazon, rockauto.com, desertcart.com etc but no luck!

Also, I need to replace the .. uhm... you know the silver part at the front with the License Plate and tow hooks on it .. ( I don't know what its called :emb: ) as you can see the previous owner decided to demolish something with it :huh:

Can anyone suggest a website please?

Why dont u check the classifields in dubai? Overhere used H3 parts are widely available as many people endup scrapping them due to high cost of repairs compared to the value of the truck!
For the skid plate you need to look at 2008+ models to find it. Its a piece of metal so shipping will cost at least $150 to thr UAE. A used one shouldnt cost more than $150 locally.
A new vent piece from GM isnt just costly, its gona come blank and need paint to match your vehicle color. Again a scrapped H3 will have those cheaper and you can repaint them to match your H3. If you find one the same color as yours it will save the hasstle of painting, plus it would probably have the same condition as your vehicle and the paint fade would be similar.

Yeah I've tried Dubizzle etc and can't find them. My friend went to the car cemetery for me (I can't go for obvs reasons :( ) to get one but they had all either been smashed in their accidents or they had already been taken.. I'll keep looking!


Yeah exactly, I did find them on GMpartsdirect.com but the price made my eyes water haha! I think I would have an even worse time trying to find one the same colour as my car.. I've only ever seen black, red or silver H3's here then the odd orange, yellow and blue.. That's alright though because, just like The Rolling Stones, I want them painted black
:D


Skid Plate!!! You know I wanted to call it a skid plate but I was so unsure and didn't want to look stupid :emb: Thank you!
2008 + models.. awesome. Is that because of the shape or..?
IF its just a bit of metal and there's nothing particularly "special" about it.. do you think it would be better, or even possible, to get one made?

The 2008+ have the silver piece (which clears a crash bar added in 2008 behind the plate) while the previous version is abit different in shape and black
