depending on your local laws another no-no would be driving past a five o with your windows rolled up! Around here we gotta roll our windows down when we pass a five o otherwise its a 200 dollar fine!

if your worried about tickets and hassle, borrow your families car or drive another car to get to places. think about if its worth risking a $200 ticket because you want to go to the better chinese food place..

when i got mine done, shop keeper said 3-5 days, but i went ahead and waited 1 week to play it safe. also mentioned if theirs morning dew on the windows, wipe it immediately.

i'd give them atleast a week and don't clean them with ammonia based cleaners cause they can ruin the tint. that just a tip i learned from being a janitor.

wtf? you never heard of being friends with a cop? all they have to do is write it off for you and give them $15 (here its $10) to pay the ticket.

yeah, cough cough here in south dakota when we get pulled over we know its gonna be at least 20$ for the cop to look the other way. unless were really speeding hard core the cops will look the other way for around 20$ i got pulled over once gave the cop a crisp 20 and he goes "man thats one hell of a tint job! you think they'll do it that dark on my cruiser?" and i have all my windows 5% except the front witch is a 9 inch banner. that my friends is why i love living in south dakota. and i live in the biggest city in SD
