Its not hard to take them out and tint them and BTW might be a good idea Paint your grilles all black instead of the chrome ring

Are those OEM replacements? Mine are cloudy also. Where did you get them and how much?

How would you go about tinting them? Is there a paint or something? EDIT Maybe something like this?

Yeah, been looking at painting the chrome rig, might work on that as well.

Still trying to find time to do the cooler and stuff, just really busy week, 3 birthdays in my family this week!

I bought the tint film kind:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gloss-Black-Dark-Smoke-Headlight-Taillight-FogLight-Tint-Film12-x-36-1ftx3ft-/221219138813?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=XxH7fyNocRzTVm74uMpcYKP%252FDpg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Figured it should be good enough for the parking lights.

That is what my tuner of my turbo stang uses. He hadnt done a LS4 before, so I elected to go this route instead.

Its not like were worlds apart but HP tuners offers way more adjustability but given you don't tuning yourself diablo is probably your best option

Got the parking light tint on. Thought it worked out OK.






Flipped the upper MM as well. If anything, I hear a lot more clunking when moving from a dead stop. Need to check into it more, it might be because of this or not.


Got the InTune, but sure enough it was not plug and play for my car, got this message:
Please email the PCM_UnknownBackup file to support@diablosport.com

So I did, just have to wait and see what they say.

That's strange, my car clunks too since I did that. Only when it is cold though. It drives fine but when I back out of my driveway and shift into drive there is a thump when I give it gas. I don't know what the cause is though.

So where did you get this mount from and what did it cost? I didnt see a pic of your poly mount on the other side.
