Default TINT? / idling problem

does anyone know a good tinting place in San Diego??? maybe a mobile tinter?

Also, i just installed my short ram intake, and i was wondering if thers a manual idle adjustment that i could do.This is because my car idles fine when its stationary but when im coasting at high speeds it sometimes dies and ive gotta bump start it in 4th to keep going. lol. if any one has any ideas of what this could be, id appreciate if u could let me know. thx.

sorry chief, as far as I know its all electronic. When I installed my intake I had the exact opposite. When i was stopped with my foot on the break i had really erratic idle and sometimes stalled but after while it corrected itself. how ever the odd part was if i was stopped and I put it in neutral and i lifted the e brake i never had an idle problem i dunno. It still does that now...like if i stop fully my idle will go down, slowly go down again and ever so slowly untill the car surges back again...its rare but it happens

Shoulda gone to expert window tinting. That is my roommates shop and he is one of THE TOP tinters in SD.

Woulda cost you a little more but you would have the best job done with top of the line film.
